NOT JUNETEENTH: and WHY

Join us in film, music and intense dialogue addressing genuinely complex regional self emancipation agency. Freedom did not begin with Lincoln’s proclamation. Freedom belonged to daring, emboldened and assertive counter-colonial freedom warriors centuries before 1863. Those NOT JUNETEENTH LEGACIES are the basis of a resounding declaration of self-determined independence. Rather than Freedman’s, mission, and boarding schools, Drumfolk and NOT JUNETEENTH legacy provided another education: Escape, Rebellion and Freedom, a true Declaration of Independence. “… Nobody can give you freedom, Nobody can give you equality or justice or anything. If you're a man, you take it.” —Malcolm X
