The Anti-Racism Collective is proud to be a part of the community-led Juneteenth Event at Centennial Lakes. We are in partnership with Edina Community members and invaluable assistance from Hennepin County JCPP Liaison.  ​

 

Juneteenth commemorates the day in Galveston, Texas that the last enslaved African-Americans learned of their freedom nearly two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation. It became a Federal Holiday in 2021 and is an observed city holiday in Edina, MN.

​

Please join us to learn more about the meaning of Juneteenth. This is a family-friendly event and will feature KMOJ radio personality Chantel Sings, West African Drum and Dance group Duniya , readings, singing, giveaways, food trucks and other activities for all ages.

​

Community organizations are invited to have information tables.  Please email info@ar-collective.org to participate or for more information.

​

Admission, parking and all activities except the food trucks are free.

 

 ​This event will not be possible without donations from you!  Please donate so we can make this an event that is meaningful and enjoyable for all. We will recognize all donors on the program.
