Juneteenth: Conversations of History & Healing Returns to Network Wednesday, June 18 at 8pm ET
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (June 3, 2025) —Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN), America’s most-watched faith-and-family network is thrilled to announce that its original special Juneteenth: Conversations of History & Healing, hosted by renowned cultural thought leader Dr. Rick Rigsby, has been honored with a Gold Telly Award in the editing category at the 2025 Telly Awards which celebrate excellence in television and video production.
"This award is a humbling reminder that stories rooted in biblical truth and justice still resonate,” said Angelique Higley, producer of Juneteenth: Conversations of History & Healing. “Juneteenth is more than history; it’s a mirror, a milestone, and a mandate to keep telling the stories that shape who we are and who we can become. I’m proud of our team, and I deeply appreciate TBN’s trust and support in bringing this meaningful project to life."
Originally airing in 2024, Juneteenth: Conversations of History & Healing invites viewers on a reflective journey from Galveston, Texas to Dallas and Crownsville, Maryland. The special uncovers personal stories, buried histories, and bold acts of forgiveness—all grounded in a biblical perspective of unity and restoration. Through revealing conversations and powerful storytelling, Dr. Rigsby leads an exploration of forgotten history, the Church’s pivotal role in justice and healing, and the path toward meaningful reconciliation.
“The only way that we can ever take a stab at a difficult conversation is for there to be trust,” said Dr. Rigsby. “The only way trust occurs is through relationships. That’s why celebrating Juneteenth is significant in the overall narrative of American life and history.”
TBN will rebroadcast Juneteenth: Conversations of History & Healing as part of its Summer Shines Brighter With TBN campaign on Wednesday, June 18 at 8pm & 11pm ET. The program is also available to stream now on TBN+.
