The Six Triple Eight (Juneteenth Movie Night with Baxter United)

A free movie night presented by Baxter United, part of their Summer Series! Bring your friends and family to the historic Wealthy Theatre for a screening of “The Six Triple Eight” a film by Tyler Perry.

This Juneteenth, we honor legacy, courage, and untold history— the powerful true story of the only all-Black, all-female battalion deployed overseas during World War II. Against racism, sexism, and the chaos of war, these 855 women stood tall to deliver hope and order when the world needed them most.

Brought to you by Baxter United, in partnership with Habitat for Humanity of Kent County Grand Rapids Community Media Center Baxter Neighborhood Connectors this Juneteenth screening is our gift to the community! Come experience a story that was nearly erased— but will never be forgotten.
