About this Event
Juneteenth is a new federal holiday recognizing that true freedom for all enslaved African Americans did not happen until June 19, 1965—two years after the emancipation proclamation was signed.
We’re hosting a tea party to commemorate the 2nd year of Juneteenth as a federal holiday. We will sip tea, learn how to properly steep loose leaf tea, learn more about Juneteenth, and expand our community as we discuss what the true meaning of freedom means to us.
To add to the celebration, the venue, tea company, and food will all come from Black-owned businesses to make sure we’re supporting locally-owned businesses in the community.
+ More Perfect Union (+MPU) is a national movement to strengthen our communities and heal our country by creating meaningful connections through service and leadership. We form local chapters, called Brickyards, that bring people together through events focused on service, civics, and leadership.
