Juneteenth Film 2025 Partnerships
OMG Studios’ sixth Juneteenth film explores “are we really free?” taking viewers on a historical storytelling of important events that shaped the narrative making black people “less than” in society.
“All Americans should acknowledge, honor, and recognize the suffering and perseverance of enslaved people in this country, and acknowledge ancestors who did so much to build this country.” -Bryan Stevenson, Equal Justice Initiative
- For over three centuries, enslaved Black people were denied the autonomy to choose their own names. In 1870, the first census after Emancipation afforded formerly enslaved Black Americans the opportunity to exercise their newfound liberty and express their deeply rooted hope for the future by officially recording their chosen family names.
- Juneteenth has been observed in Texas for 159 years, but its roots are just as deep in a small village in Nacimiento, Mexico telling the story of John Hood, born into slavery, of African American, Indian and Spanish decent. In the north-central section of the Mexican state of Coahuila, it sits just 115 miles from the Texas border, 450 miles from Houston, and 500 miles from Galveston. It is village hours away, yet closely connected to the tradition of Juneteenth welcomed runaway enslaved people since 1850. Nacimiento de los Negros is Spanish for “birth of the blacks.”
- War Within War: Lincoln and the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862 . . .American Civil War (April 12, 1861-May 26, 1865) In early 1862 a federal investigator cautioned President Lincoln that mass corruption within Minnesota’s system of Indian Agencies would lead to disaster if left unchecked. The president, consumed by the battle to preserve the Union, ignored the warning. When the U.S.-Dakota War broke out eight months later, Lincoln told Minnesota’s governor Alexander Ramsey, “Attend to the Indians… Necessity has no law.” The war and its aftermath—U.S. victory, Dakota internment, the largest mass hanging in American history, and the forced removal of the Dakota from their homelands—solidified Minnesota’s place in the Union, even as it set the stage for the Indian Wars to come, and tragically altered the lives of thousands of Dakota people for generations to come.
- The story of GEORGE BONGA (THE FIRST BLACK MAN IN MINNESOTA) -George Bonga was a 19th century fur trader of black and Native American heritage. He lived along the shores of Lake Superior, one of the Midwestern Great Lakes. Fluent in French, English, and Native American languages, Bonga served as an interpreter during Indian-U.S. negotiations and worked for the American Fur Company before establishing his own trading post. Bonga was born on August 20, 1802 near the present-day city of Duluth, Minnesota. His grandparents were Marie Jeanne and Jean Bonga, who as slaves lived at the prominent fur trading depot of Fort Michilimackinac in the northern Michigan territory. George’s father Pierre Bonga travelled to Minnesota as a fur trader and married Ogibwayquay of the Native American Ojibwe nation. Bonga was educated in Montreal, Canada and returned to Minnesota to carry on the family business along with his two brothers
