SUMMARY:St. Paul - Kumbayah The Juneteenth Story\, 30th Anniversary
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the 30th anniversary of this beloved stage performance that brings the audience on a journey through time and the imagined impact of the Emancipation Proclamation. \n\nKumbayah The Juneteenth Story\, written by Rose McGee\, is a 90-minute two-act play that addresses a factual and traumatic time in our history – when news was deliberately withheld that Black people were no longer to be kept enslaved in this country. Storytelling and music weave together mesmerizing scenes. Although tragedy is depicted\, this play within a play is tremendously uplifting. For this anniversary performance\, the audience will be treated to special guest appearances from cast members from previous years\, who grew up as a part of this important story. \n\nAlthough interpretation is best suited for ages 8 and up\, children of all ages are welcome to attend. \n\nFunders and Supporters

SUMMARY:Minneapolis - The Making of America Film Premiere & Gallery Reception
DESCRIPTION:Directed by Monique Linder\, and produced by OMG Studios in partnership with MHC\, the film explores how Enlightenment-era systems of knowledge—art\, science\, architecture\, and cartography—produced enduring frameworks for racial slavery\, territorial extraction\, and Indigenous dispossession in what became the United States of America. The film\, the seventh in the Juneteenth Reckoning with Slavery film series from OMG Studios\, advances the argument that these outcomes were deliberate consequences of its visual and systemic commitments to order\, hierarchy\, and control. \n\n“After our last film about Reconstruction Destructed\, I felt it was important that the next film go back to the very beginning\, the making of America. This film really helps tie all the pieces in the Juneteenth Reckoning with Slavery film series together in a significant way. I’m looking forward to sharing it with others.” – Monique Linder\, Director \n\nJoin us inside the beautiful Minneapolis Institute of Art (Mia) for a reception with refreshments before and after the film\, and to view a collection of stunning works from artists who are supporting the messages of this film through their own artistic voices. \n\nThis film is presented in partnership and co-produced with our valued partners at OMG Media Solutions. \n\nImportant Venue Notice: The Making of America premiere and art showcase is an independent production of OMG Media Solutions. The Minneapolis Institute of Art (Mia) is generously serving as our host venue; however\, they are not a sponsor\, organizer\, or partner in the curation\, administration\, or logistics of the exhibition. \n\nFunders and Supporters
