What's The Liberty Project?
The Liberty Project is the modern revival of Liberty, the iconic American lifestyle magazine that was published from 1924 to 1950. Much like the original magazine, The Liberty Project will shine light on aspects of liberty that touch people’s lives, through a bounty of original works and personal accounts from today’s great writers, photographers, artists, celebrities, and thinkers. The Liberty Project will also showcase content from the magazine’s archive through a contemporary lens. Back in the day, Liberty dominated newsstands by publishing first-person stories written by the foremost celebrities and personalities of the time — from Mahatma Gandhi to Babe Ruth, Eleanor Roosevelt to Greta Garbo, and Amelia Earhart to F. Scott Fitzgerald (just to name a few).

The Liberty Project will launch late June, 2015 -- we can't wait to share it with you. Until then, think about what liberty means to you, and tell the world using #libertythis on your favorite social media site!
