6th Annual Juneteenth Celebration at The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art


*The event has already taken place on this date: Sat, 06/11/2022
As part of city-wide observances and in partnership with JuneteenthKC, The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art presents the sixth annual Juneteenth Celebration. Tickets are not required to attend the free event, but please reserve your timed ticket in advance to ensure we do not exceed capacity restrictions. Also known as Freedom Day, Juneteenth is an abbreviation of “June nineteenth” and honors the end of enslaving people which was announced by executive order in Texas on June 19, 1865. The history of freedom and equal rights after emancipation is a long and complex one; indeed, that history is still being written today. Juneteenth recognizes this ongoing struggle while celebrating the enduring contributions of African Americans.
