JUNETEENTH: Race, Courage, Freedom with Farm Arts Collective, The Janus Adams Show, Oliver King, and WJFF.

Celebrate Juneteenth and experience stories of race and courage in an unforgettable evening of truth-telling, music, and memory. The evening will begin with Oliver King’s performance of poetry by Langston Hughes (with jazz), followed by Emmy Award-winning journalist and historian Janus Adams, host of The Janus Adams Show.

This live multimedia event at Farm Arts Collective features riveting stories and rare audio-video clips—from Indigenous photojournalist Josué Rivas at Standing Rock to hidden Underground Railroad sites in upstate New York. With readings, music, audience Q&A, and a celebratory sing-along, the evening concludes with Mary McLeod Bethune’s (educator, college founder, Civil/Women’s Rights leader; member, FDR’s “Kitchen Cabinet”) time-honored recipe for sweet potato pie, a surprise takeaway—and a gift to remember.
