Join us at Dee Brown Library on Monday, June 10, for a screening of Juneteenth: Faith and Freedom. This screening is in partnership with the Central Arkansas Library System, Juneteenth In Da Rock, and Arkansas PBS.
A Black man is 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.
