In our efforts to continue fighting against social injustice, we present JUNETEENTH JUBILEE
This year’s Juneteenth celebration emphasizes not only the timeless themes of freedom and perseverance, but also recognizes the unprecedented times we’ are currently living through. In addition, Black Scranton Project turns ONE - so were are celebrating our org’s first full year as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
On June 19, 2020 we invite the community come together for a day of celebration, joy, solidarity, and love for black people. Meet us at Nay Aug Park at 4:00pm where we can dance together in protest.
This event is hosted by Black Scranton Project as our call-to-action to support, stand with, and be a united voice in support of our black community. From Ferguson, Missouri, to St. Paul, Minnesota, and from Oakland to New York City, the Black Lives Matter movement has helped raise public awareness of police violence against black people. But what does the Black Lives Matter movement mean to our community? How are marginalized communities healing from all this on-going trauma? And how can non POC play a role in the fight against injustice, racism and inequality? Meet us at Nay Aug where we can dance together in protest.
All ethnicities, gender identities and sexual orientations welcome. This will be a LGBTQIA+ friendly space. This is a family friendly event.
