Celebrating Juneteenth: Practicing Antiracism from Emancipation to Freedom

Please join us for a special Juneteenth edition of our Thursday webinar series, Nurture the Soul, on Thursday, June 15 at 3:30pm ET: Celebrating Juneteenth: Practicing Antiracism from Emancipation to Freedom.

As part of our engagement with Ibram X Kendi’s book How to Be an Antiracist, Join the Movement’s All Church Read, our Juneteenth panelists will reflect on the themes of the last chapters of the book: Failure, Success, and Survival. The exploration of each theme will include our resident historian, Dr. Renee K. Harrison offering a historical connection to Juneteenth and emancipation, reflection from a UCC leader on the implications for our continued work of emancipation and antiracism, and an artistic expression connecting it to our call to abolitionist futures. Join together to discover how practicing antiracism can continue the Juneteenth lineage of moving us from emancipation toward freedom.

Panelists:

• Renee K. Harrison, JTM Resident Historian, Associate Professor of African American and US Religious History at Howard University
• Darrell Goodwin, UCC Southern New England Conference Minister
• Dr. Jackie Lewis, Senior Minister, Middle Collegiate Church
