Freedom's Ship

The Riggio-Lynch Interfaith Chapel, designed by internationally renowned architect Maya Lin, is located at the Children’s Defense Fund’s 157-acre Haley Farm in Clinton, Tennessee. "The chapel’s ark-inspired design," said Lin, who also planned the farm’s Langston Hughes Library, "supports the CDF mission and its Freedom Schools program to carry the nation’s family of children to safe harbor. Architecturally, my goal was to quietly raise people’s hope and elevate their spirits through beautiful surroundings and, in turn, to demonstrate that they are valued."
