The event
Ever just wanted to break free? Join us onsite at the Lewis Museum to experience stories of liberation for the premier Short Kuts Live Storytelling Show. In honor of Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, we celebrate the date when Major General Granger and Union troops reached Galveston, Texas, with news that the civil war had ended; it represents the end of slavery for all in the United States of America.
Our Liberation: “Stories of Freedom and Emancipation” – The show explores the themes of liberation, ranging from the joys of freedom to the perils people faced in the aftermath, whether they were refugees, survivors of domestic violence, discrimination, assault, or in a strange land or felt like strangers in their own country.
Liberation Theme Song: Redemption Songs by Bob Marley
