Boston Globe Black History Month Film Series: Jubilee, Juneteenth and the Thirteenth

Jubilee Juneteenth and the Thirteenth accurately portrays the influential but often overlooked role that African Americans in Boston and Massachusetts played in the events that led to the abolition of slavery in the United States. It explores the importance of the African Meetinghouse, built by and for Black people in 1906 as Boston's first black church. It stands today as the oldest original black church building in America. For nearly six decades preceding the Civil War, the African Meetinghouse was the epicenter where much activism to abolish slavery was born and bred.

Join the discussion with Dr. Kerri Greenidge, Dr. Kellie Carter Jackson, Sylvia Stevens-Edouard, M.S., and Meghan Irons.
