Juneteenth at the Lillie Carroll Jackson Civil Rights Museum was more than an event—it was a conversation about freedom, ownership, and the future of Baltimore.

As we screened Birth of the Black Butterfly and unveiled the deluxe edition of Urban Cipher with Dr. Lawrence Brown, generations of history collided with new ideas, new questions, and new possibilities.

Lillie Carroll Jackson taught that ownership creates power. The same housing battles that shaped Baltimore’s past continue to challenge us to imagine what equitable communities can look like today.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, played the game, shared their insights, and helped keep these stories alive. On Juneteenth, we celebrate not only freedom, but the ongoing work of building, owning, and investing in our communities.

On this day in 1974, Baltimore officially declared “Dr. Lillie Carroll Jackson Day.”

More than 50 years later, her legacy still walks these halls.

From civil rights leadership to community organizing, Dr. Lillie M. Jackson helped shape Baltimore history while living in the very home that now stands as the Lillie Carroll Jackson Civil Rights Museum.

As America approaches 250 years, we’re reminded that Black history is American history and these stories deserve to be seen, heard, and remembered.

Special thanks to our incredible interns for helping bring this history to life.
