ABOUT THE SESSION

June 19th, 1865 was a date that means so much to Texas. On that day in Galveston, Texas, slaves learned they were free. But actually realizing that freedom? It didn’t come easy.

“Juneteenth: 1865-2021” looks back at the meaning of Juneteenth and its history in southeast Texas.

Screening Presented By: The MUSE Foundation of Rhode Island
