Past Events
Juneteenth as a Teachable Moment
When I saw a racially insensitive display in my small town home of Berlin Connecticut, I couldn't just sit by and do nothing. As New Yorkers say "If you see something, say something" so I worked with our neighbors to create a grassroots organization focused on Social Justice and Equity. We organized an event to help teach the town about its own history.
Juneteenth Celebration: June 18th 2022 from 11AM-3PM at The Berlin Peck Memorial Library for our first ever Juneteenth Celebration! Food, music, activities, speakers, and more! Bring the whole family to participate in learning about this holiday and its connections to Berlin CT!
