The Alamo Commemorates Juneteenth with Live Performance of 'Remembering Juneteenth'

Join us at The Alamo on June 19 at 9:30 a.m. for Remembering Juneteenth, a 25-minute live performance that explores the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. Through powerful first-person narratives of formerly enslaved Texans, Dr. Jolie Rocke brings their voices to life in a moving educational experience presented in Plaza de Valero.

"Remembering Juneteenth" offers a unique perspective on the journey toward freedom by sharing first-person accounts of the emancipated in their own words. The language used in the performance is from the early 1900s, immersing audiences in the antebellum period and providing a glimpse into the lives of those who fought for their freedom. Dr. Jolie Rocke, a Texas Commission on the Arts Texas Touring Roster Artist, brings her wonderful expertise to the performance.

Don't miss this free event at Plaza de Valero on June 19th at 9:30 a.m. as we commemorate this significant moment in American history.
