Staff from Cleveland’s Karamu House—the oldest producing African American theatre in the nation—will join in conversation with the Center for Civic Engagement & Learning’s (CCEL) Executive Council and Adiah Bailey, president of CWRU Black Student Union, to reflect on the legacy of Juneteenth and the country’s ongoing need for racial justice.
Since Juneteenth 2020, Karamu House has released a series of original “Freedom on Juneteenth” and “Freedom After Juneteenth” productions as an artistic response to the recent murders of Black Americans. Segments of the productions will be previewed during the event, followed by a panel and Q&A. “Freedom on and Freedom After Juneteenth” will be presented Friday, Nov. 6, from 12:45 to 2 p.m. (EST).
Register for the event via CampusGroups.
The event is free and open to the public and is co-sponsored by the Begun Center for Violence Prevention Research and Education and the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences.
