In honor of Juneteenth, with thanks to Jack Dappa Blues.
Juneteenth is the oldest known celebration commemorating the end of slavery in the United States. It is a day for reflecting on the African American experience and the work that still needs to be done so that everyone in the United States has an equal chance for justice and human rights. Juneteenth is a day of celebration, and what better way to do that than through folk and traditional arts!
And, please check out the Jack Dappa Blues Heritage Preservation Foundation, as they are doing great work in New York State.
