Please join us for a film screening and community conversation focused on Juneteenth.

Juneteenth: Faith & Freedom is a documentary that uncovers the deep spiritual significance of America’s newest federal holiday with pastor Rasool Berry. Learn how Scripture inspired the faith of enslaved people, travel to the church where America’s first Juneteenth celebration took place and uncover why newly liberated men and women credited God for their freedom. With special guests Ms. Opal Lee, Lecrae, and more, you’ll journey to Galveston, Texas to discover a faith stronger than suffering. The screening with be followed by a community conversation facilitated by Larry Lester, noted historian and President of the Greater Kansas City Black History Study Group.

The Kansas City Museum is sponsoring this program in partnership with Missouri Humanities and with support from the Missouri Humanities Trust Fund.
