The event will be at Hotel Indigo in the Belvedere Room. Doors will open at 12:00 p.m. for light bites and socializing. The program will begin promptly at 12:30 p.m.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As part of the Juneteenth weekend of remembrance and celebration, the Columbus Human Rights Commission invites the community to gather for an intimate and honest conversation about freedom, belonging, and what America means to those who were not born here.<\/p>\n

As the United States marks 250 years of independence, this panel discussion creates space for voices that are too often absent from that celebration \u2014 the voices of immigrants and newcomers who have built their lives in this country and who carry a perspective on American freedom that those born here rarely see.<\/p>\n

Panelists from different corners of the world will share their stories \u2014 of arrival, of struggle, of hope, and of home. Through honest and vulnerable conversation, they will explore what freedom looked like from the outside, what it felt like upon arrival, and what it means to them today. Their journeys are different. Their answers will be too.<\/p>\n

Many Freedoms is more than a panel \u2014 it is an invitation to see America through new eyes, on a day that has always been about the unfinished work of freedom.<\/p>\n

Join us on June 19th for light bites, conversation, and a reminder that the American story is still being written \u2014 by all of us.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

While the event is free, registration is required due to limited space. Register here.<\/a> <\/p>\n
