SUMMARY:The Wounded World: W.E.B. Du Bois & WWI
DESCRIPTION:Join Black Archives of Mid-America in Kansas City and the Greater Kansas City Black History Study Group for an author discussion of the new book\, The Wounded World: W.E.B. Du Bois & WWI. \nHope\, betrayal\, disillusionment and transformation. W.E.B. Du Bois encouraged African Americans to join the Allied cause in WWI\, but after-the-fact became haunted by this decision. In the effort to atone\, he began a manuscript detailing the history of Black participation in WWI – a manuscript that ultimately remained unfinished. \nProfessor and award-winning author Chad Williams’ new book explores the legacy of Du Bois. As we celebrate Juneteenth\, learn more about the most influential scholar-activist in African American history in this compelling lecture\, hosted in partnership with the Black Archives of Mid-America in Kansas City and the Greater Kansas City Black History Study Group. \nFree with RSVP | Auditorium and Online

SUMMARY:Juneteenth 2023 at Atlanta History Center
DESCRIPTION:Honor the past. Celebrate the future. \nOn June 19\, 1865\, a group of Union troops stopped in Galveston\, Texas\, to inform enslaved people that the Civil War was over\, the Confederacy was defeated\, and enslaved people in Texas were free. Although President Abraham Lincoln freed enslaved people held in the Confederate States through the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863\, many slaveholders in Texas refused to comply. Since 1865\, Southern citizens have observed Juneteenth in commemoration of that fateful day in Galveston. \nToday\, Juneteenth serves as a holiday to reflect on our nation’s history\, commemorate emancipation\, and look towards the future impact of Black culture and community. In 2021\, President Joe Biden signed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act into law\, making Juneteenth a federal holiday. \nJoin us as we celebrate Juneteenth 2023 (and Father’s Day) by honoring the history of Black genealogy and agricultural practices. This year’s event promises to be a truly immersive experience featuring live music\, powerful storytelling\, interactive crafts\, and delicious food. \nOur workshops and talks will provide valuable insights into the history of Juneteenth and offer tips on how to research your family tree and preserve family artifacts. \nThis program is part of Atlanta History Center’s celebration of the Civic Season\, a nationwide initiative encouraging historically-informed civic participation through a two-week activation between Juneteenth and July 4th.

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

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.
