In the wake of nationwide activism and protests, Juneteenth continues to resonate in new ways with Harlem and the Harlems of the world by marking Juneteenth aka “Black Independence Day” (June 19) as a time to not only reflect and rejoice but to educate and emphasize African American history and achievements.
From outdoor cookouts, block parties, and parades, visits to museums and performance and entertainment venues to patronizing black-owned restaurants and businesses, the list of celebration options are endless. Join Chamber Members and Partners for these Juneteenth events:
