Juneteenth commemorates the 1865 enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation in Texas, officially ending chattel slavery in the United States. And 160 years later, scholar and culture worker Monaye Johnson will guide a teach-in at CTHQ (59 E 4th St) on June 18 centered on the works of poet, scholar and activist June Jordan and delving into how that very liberation is an ongoing practice and process.
During the free event, Johnson will draw "on the language, frameworks and histories of Black Feminism" to discuss "the possibilities and complexities of approaching organizing across differences as we struggle towards greater freedom," organizers say. Register here.
