Revelers of all ages are welcome to celebrate Juneteenth at the Children's Museum of Manhattan, with a full day of interactive art projects in celebration of Black liberation, resilience, and joy held on Wednesday, June 19.
From 10am to 12:45pm on the museum's first floor, you can participate in the Free To Be Me Mural, a community mural inspired by painters like Derrick Adams, Kerry James Marshall, and Amy Sherald. Then stick around from 2pm to 3:45pm to hear the story I am Harriet Tubman (Ordinary People Change the World) by Brad Meltzer and create a lantern suncatcher–a symbol of hope, strength, and generosity–to represent Harriet Tubman’s impact on American history.
