Festivities were in full swing on Wednesday, June 18th as hundreds of participants gathered to the Medgar Evers Library for live music, entertainment, games, food trucks, and special guests in celebration of Juneteenth. The event was hosted by the Jackson/Hinds Library System, and brought attendees from across the metro-Jackson area for a day packed with events. Attendees were treated to free food, games, face painting, arts & crafts, musical selections, dramatic presentations, educational talks, and speeches. Children also had the chance to sit in on story time with Dr. Ebony Lumumba, Asst. Professor of English at Jackson State University. Thank you to all our special guests and sponsors for helping to make this event a success.
