1st Tuesday Returns with Juneteenth: Faith & Freedom 

Join us Tuesday, June 3 for an exploration from the descendants of those emancipated in Texas in 1865. Juneteenth: Faith & Freedom tells the story of a Black man troubled by the legacy of American slavery and the misuse of Christianity to justify it.
