Event Details

Commemorate Juneteenth with the screening of the PBS documentary Juneteenth: Faith & Freedom. Here, director Ya'Ke Smith, troubled by the legacy of American slavery and the misuse of Christianity to justify it, travels throughout Texas and discovers how the holiday reveals the hope and courage that empowered the formerly enslaved and their descendants to fight for freedom in an often unjust society.
