The Real Juneteenth with Reynauld Smith from Sandy Spring Slave Museum

  • Greenbelt Community Center 15 Crescent Road Greenbelt, MD, 20770 United States (map)

Join us as we welcome Reynauld Smith for a special talk about what Juneteenth has meant to him, his family, and his ancestors some of whom were enslaved in Texas when word of the Emancipation Proclamation came. Juneteenth is now a federal holiday, but long before its official status, it has been celebrated by generations of African Americans whose personal stories and memories have been passed down from one generation to the next. We are honored to have him speak here in Greenbelt and are so pleased to co-sponsor this event with the Greenbelt Black History and Culture Committee and the Greenbelt Recreation Department.
