SUMMARY: Today, we celebrate Juneteenth, marking June 19, 1865, when enslaved people in , Texas, learned of their freedom, over two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. This occasion features a new short film titled “If They Took Us Back,” directed by Harley Charles Pearson. The film explores an alternate history where freed slaves were sent back to Africa, prompting viewers to rethink the value and social constructs of African-Americans. Pearson, a former teacher of African-American history, aims to celebrate Black culture, contributions, and freedom. The film debuts at Emancipation Park with screenings, performances, and a Q&A session with the cast.

‘If They Took Us Back' short film writer and director shares what inspired the story.
