EMOTIONAL EMANCIPATION
A Juneteenth performance entitled Emotional Emancipation
African American communities have used music and art; sometimes in place of written communication, to discuss life, death, spiritual philosophies, and emotions to cope with the traumas that came with being enslaved. This interactive and engaging performance will feature popular freedom songs that demonstrate the joy, sorrow, pain, inspiration, discontent, and hope experienced by African Americans on their continued journey towards healing and emotional emancipation.
