Explore Juneteenth with stories of objects and artifacts from The Amistad Center for Art & Culture—the cultural center based at The Wadsworth Atheneum which has celebrated Juneteenth in Hartford for 32 years. You will learn all about Black history in Connecticut through textiles, photographs, handmade objects, and artwork, all of which tell the stories of the Black individuals whose struggles shaped our world. This program will explore local history from the Civil War to Civil Rights, documenting the lives of African-American families from Hartford to Shoreline Connecticut through their handmade works.
