JUNETEENTH & SUMMER CELEBRATION
Everyone is Invited to this FREE Event!
Saturday June 17, 3:00p-7:30p
Join us for a special in-person guest speaker event featuring Carolyn Finney, author of "Black Faces, White Space." a book exploring the social relationship between race and the environment. Why are African Americans so underrepresented when it comes to interest in nature, outdoor recreation, and environmentalism? Carolyn Finney looks beyond the discourse of the environmental justice movement to examine how the natural environment has been understood, commodified, and represented by both white and black Americans.
After the presentation, join Carolyn on a walk in the park (4p-5p), bring a picnic or explore food by the "Soul Crave" food truck (5:30p-7p) and stay for a live jazz concert by the Milton Ruffin Jazz band (6p-7:30p).
