Details
Juneteenth is an American holiday that commemorates the June 19, 1865 announcement of the abolition of slavery in Texas (2.5 years after the Emancipation Proclamation), the last state in the Confederacy to fall, and the subsequent emancipation of enslaved African Americans throughout the former Confederacy.
Attendees are invited to view any of the Juneteenth productions before the event to help further set the context for the discussion: Freedom on Juneteenth, Freedom After Juneteenth (Episode 1: Police Brutality and Trauma), Freedom After Juneteenth (Episode 2: Voting – Know Your Right, Your Power), and Freedom After Juneteenth (Episode 3: "I, Too, Am America").
The event is free and open to the public and is co-sponsored by the Begun Center for Violence Prevention Research and Education and the Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences.
