AABLC and Lehigh Valley Public Media present a FREE premiere screening of a new documentary about African Americans in the Lehigh Valley.
About this Event

Join the African American Business Leaders Council and Lehigh Valley Public Media for an exclusive premiere screening and commemoration.

As America marks its 250th anniversary, Echoes of Freedom shines a light on the untold stories of African Americans who helped shape the Lehigh Valley — and those who continue to shape it today.

This new 30-minute Lehigh Valley Public Media documentary blends archival footage, oral histories, and new interviews to explore the meaning of freedom, belonging, and community across generations. The project will debut as part of America 250 Lehigh Valley, with companion classroom resources and digital storytelling across PBS39, WLVR, and LehighValleyNews.com.
