The Day of Jubilee: Echoes of Freedom at Plant Riverside District

A Juneteenth Journey Through Remembrance, Resistance & Rising
The Day of Jubilee: Echoes of Freedom honors the spirit of Juneteenth, and the long journey from bondage to liberation. Long before the news reached Texas on June 19, 1865, many enslaved people already believed freedom was on the way. They held onto that hope through prayer, through song, and through faith in a better tomorrow. When the word finally arrived, it was more than news—it was a moment of awakening. We will use this production to remember that day, and the echoes it left behind, reminding us that freedom is not only something we celebrate, but something we must continue to carry forward.
