JuneteenthOpenHouse
We ain’t goin nowhere. ❤️🖤💚
This year, we’re simply taking a moment to rest, reflect, and recalibrate.
For seven Juneteenths, the Black Scranton Project has worked to create spaces for joy, culture, history, music, art, community, and connection here in Northeastern Pennsylvania. From our very first Juneteenth brunch in 2019 to block parties, skating rinks, concerts, archives, wellness events, and gatherings filled with love — this work has grown because of community.
And sometimes, when you’ve spent years building something meaningful, you have to pause long enough to appreciate what’s been created together.
Black Scranton has officially been a nonprofit for seven Juneteenths. That’s beautiful. That’s historic. That’s worth celebrating.
So this year, instead of rushing to produce something massive, we’re opening the doors and inviting you to simply come be with us.
And honestly? Let Glynis take a second to step back and look at what she helped create here in Scranton too. It’s her birthday weekend after all — how divine is that?
So pull up for a minute.
The archive is open.
The music will be on.
And we’d love to see you.
