About the Conference

The Free Movement Conference is a annual event that brings together people from across the South who believe in creating a healthier and safer communities. More than 500 attendees participated in our inaugural conference in 2016.

Our History

The Free Movement Project evolved out of the first Black Man Running 5K in 2015. Black Man Running was a community-wide effort to design a large scale public art and social justice organizing project around making racial and health justice realities here in Wilmington. In 2015, hundreds of people participated in artists residencies, social justice and health workshops with that objective in mind.
