On June 19, 1865, the work of General Order Number Three, which stated that all slaves were free, finally reached Galveston, Texas. Folks around the country come together to remember that day and what it means.

Most EMO programs and services will be closed today and tomorrow to honor Juneteenth. This is just one day among many to remember that Black history is American history.

We are so excited to announce this years Collins Lecture. John Fugelsang, actor, comedian and host of “Tell Me Everything” on SiriusXM Progress, will be coming to Portland on Saturday June 6, 2026 for a conversation on his New York Times bestselling book, “Separation of Church and Hate: A Sane Person’s Guide to Taking Back the Bible from Fundamentalists, Fascists and Flock-Fleecing Frauds.”

Fugelsang uses humor and biblical scholarship to challenge far-right Christian ideologies, such as Christian nationalism, and argues for a return to the core teachings of Jesus–love, mercy and service. He provides a toolbox for responding to Christian nationalism on the biggest issues that divide us today: immigration, LGBTQIA2S+ rights, poverty, gun safety, feminism, the death penalty, and more.

If you want to learn directly from John Fugelsang about his approach of using the scripture and Jesus’s teachings to challenge Christian nationalism and authoritarianism, join us at the 2026 Collins Lecture for “A Conversation on the Separation of Church and Hate.”
