Juneteenth Douglass Freedom Festival - Rally for Representation & Community Power at Douglass Park

The Rally for Representation launches with a giant farmer puppet co-created during Jeghetto's residency in the Douglass neighborhood with local residents and youth. Community leaders, elected officials, advocates, artists, and candidates gather for a community-centered rally focused on civic engagement, democratic participation, and the protection of voting rights. Speakers include State Representative Justin J. Pearson, Gabby Salinas, Michalyn Easter-Thomas, Shelby County Commissioner Henri Brooks, and others.
