2021 Juneteenth Celebration

Part one features a conversation with Texas Judge, Maria T. Jackson, who shares her perspective on Juneteenth as a Texan jurist. She currently sits as a visiting judge, after serving three terms as a municipal judge, and as the longest-serving felony court judge in Harris County (Houston) before retiring in 2019.

Part two is a rousing selection, appropriately entitled – Long Walk To Freedom (italics), performed by the IMPACT Repertory Theatre.
