Juneteenth is about the freedom stories we share, the ones that are silenced, and our obligation to one another. Juneteenth reminds us that we aren’t free until everyone is free.
On Juneteenth weekend, please join us at the National Public Housing Museum to learn about and discuss the ongoing struggles for racial equality.
This intimate experience includes a facilitated discussion and special tour of What Happened Next?, an immersive installation about the legacies of housing injustice. The installation was created for the Museum by the Emmy Award winning collective Manual Cinema, in collaboration with Dr. Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, an author, MacArthur Fellow, and Professor in the Department of African-American Studies at Princeton University. From within a recreated 1950s apartment, learn how redlining, racial covenants, blockbusting, and other federal and local housing policies shaped Black history, the demographics of cities—and of public housing—and impacted the lives of families living in Chicago’s Jane Addams Homes.
What Happened Next? is usually only included as part of the full guided tour of the Historic Apartments. This focused Juneteenth experience will last approximately 30 minutes beginning at:
- 11 am
- 12 pm
- 1:45 pm
Timed tickets are $10. Space is limited and advance reservations are strongly encouraged.
Note: The National Public Housing Museum will be closed Thursday, June 19 in observance of the Juneteenth holiday.
What Happened Next? was generously made possible by the Ford Foundation.
