SUMMARY:“The Walk to Freedom”
DESCRIPTION:Join the Houston Museum of African American Culture (HMAAC) and Holocaust Museum Houston as we come together to commemorate Juneteenth. Juneteenth is the oldest known celebration marking the ending of slavery in the United States. Dating back to 1865\, it was on June 19th that Union soldiers led by Maj. Gen. Gordon Granger\, landed at Galveston\, Texas with news that the war had ended and that the enslaved were now free. The evening will begin at HMAAC with light refreshments and an historical overview of the history of Juneteenth. At 6:35 p.m.\, participants will take a reflective walk four blocks down Caroline Street to Holocaust Museum Houston to remember those who walked off plantations 148 years ago to begin their lives as freed individuals. The WALIPP-TSU Preparatory Academy will accompany walkers by playing and singing inspiring hymns of freedom. The evening will conclude at HMH with the screening of the documentary film “The New Juneteenth\,” followed by a question and answer session by filmmaker Isaac Fanuiel. Admission is free\, but seating is limited and advance registration is requested. Visit www.hmh.org/RegisterEvent.aspx to RSVP online.

SUMMARY:The First Wave with Alex Kershaw
DESCRIPTION:For the 75th anniversary of D-Day\, renowned author Alex Kershaw will discuss his latest book\, The First Wave\, with a fresh take on WWII’s longest day. He will discuss some of the remarkable men who carried out D-Day’s most perilous missions.  His group of unforgettable characters includes the first American paratrooper to touch down on Normandy soil; the British glider pilot who braved antiaircraft fire to crash-land mere yards from the vital Pegasus Bridge; the Canadian brothers who led their troops onto Juno Beach under withering fire; as well as a French commando\, returning to his native land\, who fought to destroy German strongholds on Sword Beach and beyond.   The first to fight when the stakes were highest and the odds longest\, these men would determine the fate of the invasion of Hitler’s Fortress Europe—and the very history of the twentieth century. \nAlex Kershaw is an author of books on WWII including the Bedford Boys and The Longest Winter. The First Wave is the capstone in Alex Kershaw’s remarkable career\, built on his close friendships with D-Day survivors and his intimate understanding of the Normandy battlefield.  \nCopies of Kershaw’s new book will be on sale at our museum store on the 1st floor.  After the talk\, Kershaw will be available for a book signing in the Moral Choices Hall outside the theater. \nThis event is made possible by the generosity of Bernstein. \n			\n				REGISTER TO ATTEND
