Say Hello to Freedom's Hand

Say Hello to Freedom's Hand

Presented by Broward County Libraries at Online/Virtual Space

A Juneteenth celebration, telling the story through folk narratives, music that transcends from how individuals utilized various means to escape to freedom to leading up to when Union, Major General Granger delivered the iconic words in Galveston, Texas-along with some 2,000 Union troops-that liberated the enslaved in the area and the U.S.

The program’s objective is to inspire children to not only express their personal freedom and dreams. But, also explore and discover their ancestors that helped bring their freedom to fruition.

We also explore many of the symbolism and traditions surrounding what many call, the "America's Second Independence Day". For, if one fails to learn the lesson, one may repeat the test!
