Wiley University Juneteenth 2024

Join us for our 2024 Juneteenth Celebration!

Check out KTAL's News Story on Wiley University
CBS News Feature on Our Juneteenth Celebration
Highlighting our focus on oral tradition, and the film/storytelling masterclass held at Wiley University.

We are honoring Juneteenth this year through a digital storytelling focus, as it was the oral storytelling ability of Dr. Opal Lee that catapulted Juneteenth to mainstream consciousness and its current standing as a national holiday. The masterclass will teach these same storytelling methods via film and the communal oral traditions elemental to the Black community. The masterclass will be held in the Thomas W. Cole, Sr. Library, and the documentary screening with roundtable discussion will be held in the Julius S. Scott, Sr. Chapel.

All events are free and open to the public. PLEASE REGISTER BELOW:
Book a hotel in the heart of Marshall and enjoy this two-day experience with us!
