Juneteenth Celebration
June 16 @ 12:30 pm - 3:00 pm
St. Paul’s Episcopal Church Norwalk on the Green will celebrate Juneteenth with an afternoon of music, film, games, book selling and delicious food. This will be a tribute both to Freedom Day-the day the enslaved in Galveston Texas were told that the institution of slavery had ended – two years after the Emancipation Proclamation had been signed- as well as to the celebration of what freedom continues to mean not only to African Americans and their descendants, but to the American nation as a whole. All are invited to the celebration which will begin at 12:30 pm with a potluck lunch – bring favorite dish from your heritage and join the the fun! Kindred Thoughts booksellers will also be on hand with a wonderful selection of books for sale. For more information, click HERE.
