Location: Chicago Public Library - Hegewisch Branch

Juneteenth is a very important celebration in Black communities. However most, if not all festivities are marked with religious praise and worship that can be extremely overwhelming.

Join BN for a virtual Juneteenth celebration that will focus on the history and accomplishments of our people - from a secular perspective. All are welcome to participate, please register in advance!

Hosted by Cynthia McDonald and Mandisa Thomas.

In The Cut with Special Guest Dr Brian Kwoba.

Join us for a thought-provoking public debate presented by **Black Nonbelievers of Chitown** as we explore the complex relationship between faith and freedom in the Black community.

Atheist debater **Ronald McCullough** and Theist debater **Rev Al Saulsberry** will go head-to-head on the bold and timely question: *Are Black people better off with Christianity?*

This is more than a clash of worldviews—it's a critical conversation about culture, identity, and the future of belief in Black America.

🕜 **Time:** 1:30 PM
📍 **Location:** Hegewisch Branch, Chicago Public Library
**Address:** 3048 E 130th St, Chicago, IL 60633
