Program Description

Event Description

We'll celebrate Juneteenth with a free showing of the feature film "Miss Juneteenth" in which a former beauty queen and single mom prepares her rebellious teenage daughter for the Miss Juneteenth pageant." We'll follow with a discussion and poetry.
Open Mic Poetry Night. Are you an amateur, a seasoned poet, or somewhere in between and looking for someplace to express your talent? Local poets have an opportunity to read their own work or just sit and listen to the work of other budding poets. This is a recurring event and takes place on the last Monday of each month.
