Elizabethtown Social Center Juneteenth Celebration
Many Faces of Freedom: A Juneteenth Look at Revolutionary America
A panel discussion and community conversation hosted by the Elizabethtown Social Center in partnership with the North Country Underground Railroad Historical Association.
Join us for an engaging evening of reflection, storytelling, and community dialogue as we explore the meaning of freedom — from the American Revolution to the present day. Community panelists will share perspectives on how the ideals of the Declaration of Independence both challenged and inspired the ongoing struggle for liberty and equality in America.
Together, we will also explore the North Country’s connection to these larger national stories and invite audience members to take part in an open and welcoming conversation about freedom, history, and community today.
Whether you come to listen, share, learn, or reflect, all are welcome to be part of this meaningful discussion.
Panelists include:
Jacqueline Madison, North Star Underground Railroad Historical Association
Peter Slocum, Adirondack History Museum
Moderated by Laurie House, Elizabethtown Social Center
