Freedom’s Journey: A Juneteenth Musicale

The Berea Human Rights Commission and First Friday Berea and Mortimer & Mimi Levitt Foundation Present Freedoms Journey: A Juneteenth Musicale.

“The Berea Human Rights Commission and the Levitt Amp Foundation are thrilled to announce a vibrant and inclusive Juneteenth celebration that will bring the community together through music and food. This special event aims to commemorate the historic significance of Juneteenth and promote unity, diversity, and equality.

Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day or Emancipation Day, marks the emancipation of enslaved African Americans in the United States. This year’s celebration will take place on June 23, 2024, at the Berea Skate Park, and promises to be a memorable occasion for individuals and families of all backgrounds.

The event will feature a diverse lineup of talented musicians who will perform various genres of music, paying homage to the African American cultural heritage while showcasing the richness of our community. Attendees can expect captivating performances that will uplift spirits and encourage unity among all.

In addition to the incredible music, the Juneteenth celebration will also showcase a wide array of delicious food options, reflecting the community’s culinary diversity. Local food vendors and restaurants will be present, offering a tantalizing selection of cuisines that will satisfy every palate.

The Berea Human Rights Commission and the Levitt Amp Foundation are committed to creating an inclusive and welcoming atmosphere for all attendees. This celebration is an opportunity for individuals from different walks of life to come together, engage in meaningful conversations, and celebrate the progress we have made while acknowledging the work that still lies ahead.

We extend our deepest gratitude to the Levitt Amp Foundation for their support in making this event possible. Their dedication to promoting music as a catalyst for social change aligns perfectly with our mission to foster a more equitable and inclusive community.”
