Celebrate Juneteenth at the Library Company of Philadelphia

The Sounds of Freedom

June 16th, 2023 at 6:00 p.m. ET

Hybrid Event | Free

This year’s Juneteenth Freedom Program will feature multihyphenate Dr. Scot Brown, Associate Professor of African American Studies and History at UCLA, author of Fighting for Us: Maulana Karenga, the Us Organization, and Black Cultural Nationalism, and musician under the name Scotronixx. The Sounds of Freedom will explore the quest for Black empowerment and civil rights through African American music from the 1970s to the present day. As close to home as Philadelphia International Records, but with reverberations that stretch far and wide, we hope you’ll join us to explore this vital dimension of the Black freedom struggle in the United States.
