As part of Lee Pride, walk Lee’s secret LGBTQ+ history together. This free tour is going to explore stories that have always existed in Lee but were often whispered, hidden, or erased. The tour will cover about law, art, religion, illness, courage, cruelty, and pride. Some of what you’ll hear is painful. Some of it is joyful. All of it happened right here in the town of Lee. The tour will take 1.5-2 hours and we’ll walk less than a mile. The tour will be led by Lee researcher Joshua D. Bloom.

Each service includes an uplifting talk that touches on real-life experiences—like relationships, resilience, and personal growth—offering down-to-earth reflections to help you navigate life with clarity, compassion, and a sense of connection.

The healing portion of the service begins with a peaceful, guided meditation accompanied by live harp music, creating a calm and supportive space. Those who wish may then receive gentle, hands-on energy healing from certified Spiritualist healers while seated.

The service concludes with a demonstration of mediumship from the podium, where the medium shares messages from loved ones in spirit. These brief, heartfelt messages are intended to provide evidence of the continuity of life and offer comfort, healing, and connection.

Join us for an unforgettable performance of music, led by Dr. Kathy Bullock, carrying a people through bondage and into freedom. Songs of Slavery & Emancipation is more than a concert, it is a living tribute to resilience, faith and the unbreakable spirit of a people.

Compiled by Swiss scholar and musician Mat Callahan, Songs of Slavery and Emancipation is a collection of songs composed and sung by slaves either preparing for, or commemorating, revolt. To this collection is added the songs of the abolitionist movement, dedicated to the eradication of the slave system. Many of the abolitionist songs were composed by fugitive slaves or free Black people, and were widely disseminated in the Northern States between the American Revolution and the Civil War.

This tour had all its funding slashed by the current regime due to the nature of its content, Black History. This workshop and concert will be a fund raiser for the tour and you will be able to give generously on the ticket page.

An 8-state tour from Berea, KY into Canada is stopping at sites along the Underground Railroad, performing works from the Songs of Slavery and Emancipation Project. This tour brings together the Berea/Jubilo singers, and will provide a singing workshop with history under the direction of Dr. Kathy Bullock. Together they weave a powerful tapestry of narratives and melodies rooted in the history of enslaved people’s journey to freedom and the abolitionist movement.
