Event Notes
Join us for a Juneteenth Celebration! Juneteenth is a 155-year-old holiday celebrating the emancipation of African-Americans from slavery in the U.S. It is celebrated on June 19 (the name is a combination of the words “June” and “nineteenth”) because on that date in 1865, Major General Gordon Granger of the Union Army landed in Galveston, Texas and informed slaves that the Civil War had ended and slavery had been abolished.
Fantasy Theatre Factory will offer powerful conference workshops presented by prominent community leaders, providing valuable discussion on FINANCIAL FREEDOM, CREATIVE FREEDOM, SOCIAL FREEDOM and MENTAL & PHYSICAL FREEDOM.
Confirmed presenters include Tawana Akins, Major Robin Stark and Traquesha Willis, with additional speakers Anthony Durden, Leroy Jones, Major Craig McQueen, Lyle Muhammad, Chief Charles Press, Marvin Weeks and Martha Wells.
