Celebrating Black History programming was developed in partnership with Urban Dreams.
Learn about Juneteenth, from its origins 156 years ago to how it’s celebrated today, both nationally and locally, with civic leader and General Chairperson of Iowa Juneteenth Dwana Bradley. Bradley’s message is conversational and will be illustrated with key images. Join us at 5:30 pm and learn how you can be involved in this year’s festivities!
