Celebrate Juneteenth at MoAD
Saturday June 19, 2010

"Juneteenth is a celebration of African American freedom and achievement. It was originated to commemorate the day that enslaved Africans in Texas received formal notification of their emancipation on June 19, 1865, more than two and a half years after the implementation of the Emancipation Proclamation.
Join us for a day of reflection and an opportunity to trace your family’s lineage. Whether you’re a novice or an enthusiast, professional genealogist, Lisa B. Lee, PLCGS will lead workshops designed to develop basic skills in gathering, preserving, and sharing your family’s history.
