In the United States, we do not have a national holiday commemorating the emancipation of 4 million enslaved people. However, people have been celebrating it ever since June 19th, 1865. Juneteenth is a moment where we step back and try to understand not only the Civil War through the eyes of enslaved people, but today’s America through the eyes of Black citizens.
In honor of Juneteenth, we will be creating art inspired by the Black National Flag which acts as a symbol for black pride and brings awareness to those not of African descent of the importance of understanding the hardships and perseverance of fellow black citizens in the country’s past and present.
There are workshops every 30 minutes with limited capacity, please be sure to pick up your tickets at the desk when you arrive.
Free with admission
