Two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed, freedom was finally realized for all enslaved people of the United States. Juneteenth is a joyous national holiday that celebrates that historic moment.
Conceived by Emmy Award-winning poet and Blumenthal Director of Creative Engagement Boris “Bluz” Rogers, Juneteenth Jam will be held at the super cool Levine Ave.
Juneteenth Jam — guaranteed fun that will have the whole family jammin’!
