About this Event

Join us for our 11th Annual Juneteenth celebration, Threads of Freedom: Memory, Resistance, and Legacy.

As you visit the Hannibal Square Heritage Center, participate in a community arts workshop led by Form 2 Fashion to experience the ancient art of quilting, followed by a panel discussion to learn how this art form preserves sacred histories.

All materials will be provided for you to contribute to a lasting quilt that will be on display in the Heritage Center following Juneteenth.

As we come together to celebrate and recognize the history of Juneteenth, we invite you to join a panel discussion featuring the following speakers:

• Phyllis Elmore, Author of Quilt of Souls
• Dr. Denise Evans-Sheppard, Executive Director of Oyster Bay Historical Society
• Janice Gilyard, Genealogist and Historian
• Keidra Daniels Navaroli, Independent Curator, specializing in textiles
