For a half century, most records remained sealed on an event that shook the US Army to its core and incfuenced the way it would treat black soldiers for the next 30 years. The event was the Houston Mutiny and Court Martial of 1917 - 1918, and it erupted in part because a company of recently transferred Buffalo Soldier...s refused to submit to the racist Jim Crow laws being enforced by the city's political leadership and police force.
On Wednesday, November 11, at 1 pm and again at 3pm, the Gwendolyn Brooks Cultural Center will present "The Buffalo Soldier Mutiny," a film depicting these events that explore a true 20th century tragedy, one in which no side is without blame, and one which ultimately cost more than 30 people their lives.

Juneteenth, or June 19th, 1865, is considered the date when the last slaves in America were freed. Although the rumors of freedom were widespread before this, actual emancipation did not come until General Gordon Granger rode into Galveston, Texas and issued General Order No. 3, on June 19th, almost two and a half year...s after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. The event will feature live entertainment, guest speakers, story telling, children's crafts, and free food samplings. Furthermore, the event is free and open to the public.
