Let Freedom Ring
Since the first Juneteenth in 1865, Black Americans have lived in a country that has often fallen short of the promise of true freedom. Through the words, activism, and personal accounts of great storytellers like Toni Morrison, Frederick Douglass, Martin Luther King Jr., and countless others Americans are able to connect, understand each other better, and acknowledge America's shared past in hopes of moving forward.
As part of the Princeton Festival's Juneteenth Celebration, we invite you to take part in an oral history project we're calling "Let Freedom Ring." You'll step inside our antique phonebooth recording studio, where you'll be prompted to record your own reflections, thoughts, hopes, and dreams for a better America. We'll take sound bites from your recordings to create and commission a new piece of music celebrating Black voices. We hope that you'll join us and share your story as part of the celebration!
