The documentary joined forces with popular music platform Rapzilla to raise awareness about the film. Rasool Berry, the curator, shared his thoughts on the significance of the first Juneteenth celebration, which took place at a church in Galveston. He emphasized that the people involved perceived their emancipation through a spiritual lens. Understanding their perspective on freedom requires delving into their faith. The Black church played a crucial role in establishing communities during this time.
