Storytelling,
drumming, gospel music and dance – along with a dash of history – will
highlight New London’s cross-cultural celebration of Juneteenth at the
Hempsted
Houses!
The
celebration will feature a variety of family activities, including an
opportunity to paint a 15-foot mural with New London Artist Guido
Garaycochea on a canvas provided by New London’s
expressiones cultural center. Kids also can get their faces painted,
learn to write with a quill pen, play colonial games, try on period
clothing and color pictures of local scenes.
New London storyteller McKinley Winston is organizing a range of local
performers to tell stories of freedom and emancipation. Some will
perform on stage and others will roam the crowd, telling their tales to
visitors. New London historian Lonnie Braxton will also speak during
the day.
Performers include the Community Choir, a gospel choir organized by local churches; drummer Dwight Baldwin; Lillian Cook’s The Lion's Den Dance Company; and Adowa Bandele Asante, portraying Harriet Tubman in the years after the Civil War. Food vendors are a Taste of New Orleans and Sweetie's Bakery and Cafe.
Juneteenth began as a commemoration of abolition in Texas in 1865, but now celebrates the end of slavery across the U.S. South. The Hempsted Houses are at the heart of the city’s first African-American neighborhood.
