This free performance from Living Voices will combine a dynamic solo performance with archival film to illuminate lived experiences during the time of our country’s founding when some celebrated new freedoms while enslavement persisted until what would become known as Juneteenth, marking the last notice of emancipation given to enslaved Black Americans in the U.S. after the Civil War.
