1st Tuesday Returns with Juneteenth: Faith & Freedom
Join us Tuesday, June 3 for an exploration from the descendants of those emancipated in Texas in 1865. Juneteenth: Faith & Freedom tells the story of a Black man troubled by the legacy of American slavery and the misuse of Christianity to justify it. He travels throughout Texas and discovers how the Juneteenth holiday reveals the hope and courage that empowered the formerly enslaved and their descendants to fight for freedom in an often unjust society.
