Juneteenth, Pride, Freedom
Juneteenth marks the moment formerly enslaved people learned they were emancipated. And while some notions of freedom remained elusive in the wake of the Civil War, certain freedoms could never be stolen from black folks even in the dredges of slavery--the freedom to love themselves and others, spiritually and romantically, the freedom to resist their own destruction. Black folks have lived and loved in many ways, and as we celebrate Juneteenth alongside Pride, this talk celebrates the history of the diverse lives and loves Black people sustained in slavery and beyond. Presented by David Ponton III, Ph.D., Associate Professor at USF.
