Join us for an evening of powerful storytelling, reflection, and creative expression at the Freedom Monologues & Open Mic Night Juneteenth Celebration, held at the Africatown Heritage House. The centerpiece of the night, The Freedom Monologues, features three dynamic actresses performing original scenes that explore the meaning of freedom through the Black experience, past, present, and imagined futures. Through intimate, thought-provoking performances, these monologues invite the audience to reflect on liberation in its many forms.
Before the featured performance, the stage opens to the voices of the community. Local poets, including Mobile’s Poet Laureate, Alex “Huggy Bear” Lofton, will share original works that speak to identity, resilience, and the ongoing journey toward freedom.
The evening also welcomes new voices. Audience members are invited to step up to the mic and share their own poetry or prose, creating a space where personal stories and perspectives can be heard and celebrated.
This Juneteenth gathering is more than a performance; it’s a living conversation, honoring history while amplifying the voices shaping its future.
ADMISSION IS FREE! Seating is limited. Guests are welcome to bring their own chairs. Short Dogs food truck will also be on site, so come hungry!
