A Tribute to Juneteenth will highlight the complicated history of this national holiday. Dating back to 1865, the holiday commemorates the day when 250,000 slaves in the state of Texas, were declared free by the U.S. Army.  “Juneteenth or June 19th has become a symbol for emancipation. Since we know that the Emancipation Proclamation did not end slavery for all, these short plays will dramatically highlight some of the struggles to gain freedoms after the civil war.
