We look forward to having you join us in EHS 102 from 4 to 6 p.m. tomorrow afternoon (Tuesday)! Chapel credit is available for this event.
After a screening of the film, Berry will stick around for a Q&A session, in partnership with students in the Black Student Union. The film is sponsored by Our Daily Bread: Voices.

He travels throughout Texas and discovers how the Juneteenth holiday reveals the hope and courage that empowered the formerly enslaved and their descendants to fight for freedom in an often unjust society.”
