Many Freedoms: Voices from Across the World

Stories of arrival, belonging, and what freedom means to those not born in America.
About this Event

Funding for this event was provided in part by the African American Fund of Bartholomew County.
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.

As the United States marks 250 years of independence, this panel discussion creates space for voices that are too often absent from that celebration — 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.
Panelists from different corners of the world will share their stories — 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.
Many Freedoms is more than a panel — it is an invitation to see America through new eyes, on a day that has always been about the unfinished work of freedom.
Join us on June 19th for light bites, conversation, and a reminder that the American story is still being written — by all of us.
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.
