Faces of Freedom

June 14 @ 10:00 am - 2:00 pm

Faces of Freedom with yellow, red, and green silhouettes

Since 1619, people of African ancestry have been woven into the American tapestry. Our Faces of Freedom event celebrates Africans and African Americans from the 1600s to today.

Atumpan will perform traditional dance with drums to honor the first Africans. Historical interpreters will be on-site and on stage to introduce themselves and how they found freedom in a society where that was not always legal or the norm.

We will finish out our celebration with modern African American performances to showcase the joys and talents of the African American community today.
