*The event has already taken place on this date: Sun, 06/05/2022
Join us as we screen “The Legacy of Juneteenth,” featuring the documentary Juneteenth: The Galveston Story, co-produced by Sam Collins II. The oldest known celebration marking the end of slavery in the United States, Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865, when Union troops arrived on Galveston Island with word that the Civil War was over and enslaved people were free. On June 5, Indiana Landmarks hosts “The Legacy of Juneteenth,” featuring the documentary Juneteenth: The Galveston Story, co-produced by Sam Collins III, Juneteenth historian and National Trust for Historic Preservation Advisor.
The program will be followed by a panel discussion on the history and significance of Juneteenth led by Collins; Fay Williams, Indianapolis and Galveston civil rights leader; and Olon Dotson, chair of Indiana Landmarks’ African American Landmarks Committee.
