Join us in celebrating Juneteenth with award-winning storyteller, Toni Simmons. Come explore the tradition of dancing in African American culture and folklore from Africa to America to Emancipation. We honor Juneteenth as a reminder of June 19, 1865, when Union Soldiers led by Major General Gordon Granger landed in Galveston with news that the war had ended and the enslaved were free.
