About the event

Songs of the Freedom Bound: A Juneteenth Celebration and Poetry Reading
Join us for a Juneteenth celebration! We are overjoyed to host Crystal Simone Smith and Dr. Sheila Smith McKoy on June 19, 2025, at 6:30pm. Crystal will read from her new release, Runagate: Songs of the Freedom Bound, a collection of haiku and tanka about the enslaved, a reimagining of their flights of escape. Dr. Smith McKoy will deliver a brief history of Juneteenth, leading us into a powerful reflection on and celebration of this important holiday. Both scholars will be available for a Q&A and book sale/signing following the reading.
