Freedom Weeks: Juneteenth: Faith & Freedom — Film Screening & Community Conversation

Join us for a powerful Juneteenth gathering featuring Juneteenth: Faith & Freedom, a 56‑minute documentary that explores the legacy of slavery, the resilience of Black communities, and the complicated role of Christianity in both oppression and liberation.

The film follows a Black man wrestling with the weight of inherited trauma and the ways faith was misused to justify slavery. His journey across Texas — the birthplace of Juneteenth — uncovers stories of courage, spiritual resistance, and the enduring hope that sustained the formerly enslaved and their descendants. Through personal reflection and historical truth‑telling, the film reveals how Juneteenth became not just a date, but a declaration: freedom delayed is not freedom denied.

After the screening, we’ll hold a guided conversation to reflect on the themes of liberation, faith, justice, and the ongoing struggle for true freedom in an often unjust society. This is a space for learning, connection, and honoring the resilience that continues to shape Black life and Black futures.

Who this is for: Anyone committed to understanding Juneteenth more deeply and engaging in honest, hopeful dialogue about freedom and justice.
