OUR NEXT featured EVENT
Join us for an evening of memorable performances inspired by James Baldwin’s revolutionary life.
CFBA&I orbits around June 19th because Juneteenth represents an historic triumph of the human spirit. Juneteenth commemorates the June 19th, 1865 announcement of the abolition of slavery in Texas and, more widely, the emancipation of African slaves throughout the former Confederacy.
We honor our ancestors/forebears by holding this day in reverence and celebrating ourselves to celebrate them. Learn more about Juneteenth at JUNETEENTH.COM
