Celebrate Juneteenth with Hennepin County Library

Juneteenth is said to be the oldest African American celebration of emancipation from slavery. Hennepin County is commemorating this significant moment in African American history at an all-ages online community event, with powerful stories, performances, rhythms and songs. Juneteenth honors families reuniting, just as our ancestors took their freedom and reconnected with lost relatives, and bring us closer together.

Live on Hennepin County Library's Facebook page:

• Sunday, June 14, 2-4 p.m.
• Tuesday, June 16, 6-8 p.m.

• Voice of Culture Drum and Dance
• Million Artist Movement
• Black Storytellers Alliance
• Neverending Storycircle
• Journey Productions
• Passed Presents
• Black Table Arts

Funded by Minnesota's Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
