Movement in Peoria with Corey Curtis

with historian Corey Curtis, then enjoy a guided tour of Pettengill-Moron House,
built by abolitionist Moses Pettengill. Curtis will also discuss the role of African-American troops from Peoria who were in south Texas on June 19, 1865 when two and half years after the Emancipation Proclamation, enslaved people learned they were free, a day now commemorated as Juneteenth.

Joe Stamm Band’s newest country-rock album is as brutally authentic as the Midwestern plains and people that inspire these songs. A year-round working musician, Stamm has become something of an anthropologist of the tiny towns dotting middle America. Thanks to his fondness for this so-called flyover country, and his crew of down-home troubadours, Stamm has created the soundtrack to the heart of America: Midwest Town (release date 9-10-21). www.joestammband.com
