This Juneteenth, we reflect on a powerful moment in history—June 19, 1865.

Music Associate and Carillonneur Timothy Short will offer a Carillon Recital at 12 p.m. Juneteenth honors the end of slavery in the United States and is considered the longest-running African American holiday. On June 17, 2021, it officially became a federal holiday. House of Hope will be closed in observance. From spirituals that guided people to freedom, to songs that fueled the civil rights movement, each piece carries meaning, memory, and hope.

We invite you to pause, listen, and reflect with us on
