SUMMARY:Freedom Journeys Salon: Celebrating 250 Phenomenal Philadelphians
DESCRIPTION:Join us in Philly for Freedom Journeys Salon\, honoring 250 amazing locals making waves!\n\n\n \nAs the nation prepares to celebrate 250 years of independence\, there is a story that must be told—one that is too often overlooked\, undervalued\, and increasingly under threat.  \nFrom the founding of the republic to the present day\, Black Philadelphians have been central to the building of this city\, this commonwealth\, and this country. Their contributions to science\, politics\, the arts\, faith\, education\, and community are woven into every block and boulevard of Philadelphia. The Semiquincentennial is a moment to reclaim and celebrate that legacy—on our own terms. \nJoin WURD Radio for the Freedom Journeys Salon\, a special community gathering celebrating the extraordinary people featured in our Freedom Journeys storytelling project—both past and present. This afternoon of live conversation\, reflection\, great food\, and music marks a powerful moment in WURD’s ongoing mission to honor 250 iconic African American Philadelphians from 1776 to 2026. We’re also debuting our newest podcast\, Freedom Journeys: Sacred Places\, exploring the historic spaces that anchor Black Philadelphia’s story.  \nIf you’ve been struggling with how to mark the nation’s 250th—especially at a time when Black history\, culture and people are under threat—you MUST come celebrate with WURD. \nEvent Details:\n\nWhat:Freedom Journeys Salon: Celebrating 250 Phenomenal Philadelphians\nDate: July 3rd\nTime: 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM\nLocation: The Love Lab | 932 Market Street\, Philadelphia\, PA\nIncludes: Live broadcast\, community conversation\, light fare\, DJ\, and the debut of the Freedom Journeys: Sacred Places podcast\n\nBroadcast: 96.1 FM / 900 AM | WURD Radio \nDigital: WURD Radio App | WURDRadio.com | Facebook Live @forWURD | Twitch @wurdradio
