SUMMARY:Juneteenth Evening of Songs and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Jamestown Settlement on Wednesday\, June 14\, for a thought-provoking evening of history and performance exploring the precarious nature of freedom from 17th-century Jamestown to Juneteenth. \nAlthough Juneteenth springs from events that happened in Galveston\, Texas on June 19\, 1865\, the event celebrates liberation from a system of slavery with origins in Jamestown\, Va.\, as the place where the first recorded Africans in 1619 were brought after landing at Old Point Comfort and where the first slave laws enacted in the mid-17th century impacted the lives and status of Africans and their descendants. \nAs a prelude to Juneteenth\, Dr. Cassandra Newby-Alexander\, Endowed Professor of Virginia Black History and Culture at Norfolk State University\, takes up that legacy in history 246 years later at the end of the American Civil War to share the story of Black regiments attached to Virginia’s Army of the James. \nSome of these regiments were sent to Texas after the war to patrol the gulf region that included Galveston. Among their duties was keeping the peace after news of the Emancipation Proclamation was delivered to Galveston’s enslaved inhabitants. \nInterludes of song by Sylvia Tabb Lee & the Rejoicing Singers and dramatic readings from primary sources will complement the evening.

SUMMARY:EQUIANO.STORIES
DESCRIPTION:What if an African child in 1756 had Instagram when he was enslaved? \n Equiano.stories reimagines the historic childhood saga of Olaudah Equiano. The epic story is captured as a self-recorded\, first-person account\, within the format of Instagram Stories\, using video\, still images\, and text. Equiano.stories presents the early life of one of the most dynamic figures in history\, through modern technology that enables global viewing\, via social media. \nThe film focuses on the heart and soul of Equiano’s family and community in the Igboland village of Essaka\, then moves through the disruption resulting from the violent kidnapping that trapped him in chattel slavery. This true story reveals the strength\, tenacity\, and resistance of African people during the Middle Passage\, captured on a ship\, headed to the New World. \nEquiano is our origin story which does not begin in enslavement. It begins in FREEDOM. \nA joint feature film project by Stelo Stories Studio and the DuSable Black History Museum and Education Center.

SUMMARY:How a Freed Slave and a Confederate Soldier Fought for Justice in the Jim Crow South
DESCRIPTION:On the night of January 21\, 1897\, a white mob attacked the home of George Dinning\, a formerly enslaved farmer in Simpson County\, Kentucky.

SUMMARY:Records of Rights: Rights to Freedom and Justice Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Two of the stated purposes of the Constitution of the United States are to “establish justice” and “secure the blessings of liberty.” Yet the Constitution did not abolish slavery. Some saw this as a contradiction; others believed they should be free to own slaves. The definition and application of the Constitutional ideals of freedom and justice have been the subject of debate since its inception.

SUMMARY:Seizing Freedom Podcast
DESCRIPTION:Ending slavery in America required so much more than official declarations and battlefield victories.\nFreedom gets built up over time—through a billion tiny\, everyday acts. It’s there in the chance to enlist and fight for a cause. It’s there in the effort to reunite families torn apart by the cruelty of slave trading. It’s there in the right to learn to read or found a church or decide how you want to make a living. And it’s there in the insistence on the legal recognition of the right to do all these things. \nThat’s the freedom you’ll hear about on this podcast\, and you’ll hear about it directly from the people who seized it. All of the stories on this show are drawn from archives of voices from American history that have been muted time and time again.

SUMMARY:Driving While Black: Race\, Space and Mobility in America—A Community Discussion
DESCRIPTION:In Driving While Black\, a film by Dr. Gretchen Sorin and Ric Burns\, viewers discover how the advent of the automobile brought new mobility and freedom for African Americans—and exposed them to discrimination and deadly violence.

SUMMARY:Explore the "Reflecting Attucks" Virtual Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Reflecting Attucks is a virtual exhibit that examines the memory of Crispus Attucks\, a man of African & Native descent who was the first to die in the Boston Massacre\, an event now regarded as the start of the American Revolution. This exhibit is not a biography of Attucks the man. Like many 18th-century figures\, he did not leave behind a long paper trail telling his story in his own words. However\, we have vivid stories of his actions and the time in which he lived. Reflecting Attucks is a story about how Americans turned the memory of Attucks into a powerful symbol of the courage and sacrifice needed to achieve change.
