Damascus, PA — Celebrate Juneteenth at Farm Arts Collective and experience stories of race and courage in an unforgettable evening of truth-telling, music, and memory. This annual event at Farm Arts Collective on Willow Wisp Organic Farm will begin with a Lenape opening ceremony with Lenape culture bearer, Grey Wolf (Robin Henderson),  followed by Oliver King’s performance of poetry by Langston Hughes including the well known poem, “I,Too, Am America.” Following Mr. King’s presentation, Emmy Award-winning journalist and historian Janus Adams, host of The Janus Adams Show will appear, and human rights activist, Adrienne Jensen will also offer a reflection.

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. The evening starts at 7 PM, with light refreshments offered. Tickets are Pay-What-You Can at the door.
