TheBushLibrary's video: Celebrating Juneteenth Freedom s Legacy: Honoring Our Ancestors

On Wednesday, June 19, 2019 the Bryan-College Station community-wide celebration of Juneteenth started with the annual Freedom Walk and an interactive storytelling program at the Bush Center. Oba William King, Master Storyteller, led our program by focusing on the value of lives of service as shown in our ancestoral leaders. The program also reflected the President and Mrs. Bush's lives of service offering tangible understanding of local/national leaders whose legacies continue.
