Join us in celebrating Juneteenth—now a federal holiday commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans—alongside Batingua Dance & Drums Productions and special guest author Patricia Robinson, who will speak about her new book, Awakening the Limitless Within. Juneteenth has long responded to cultural, political, and national events. Over its 156-year history, its popularity has risen and fallen. What began as a small, local observance grew as African Americans carried its traditions beyond the South during periods of migration. The celebration will feature live performances, interactive drumming, music, and exciting giveaways. Don’t miss this vibrant and meaningful event! ***Special guest author Patricia Robinson will only be at Central location. ***
