About the Event
On Juneteenth, Africatown Community Land Trust and King County Equity Now are "commemorating the liberation of our ancestors from chattel slavery and collectively envisioning and exploring what future freedom and equity can look like." Death Row Records-signed R&B artist October London, who has won Grammy awards for his work on NXWorries' album and The Color Purple soundtrack, headlines a stacked lineup of acts including local musical theater star Isaiah Banks and 13-year-old South Seattle rapper Skye Dior. Bring your dancing shoes; Southern line dancing group PNW STEPPAZ will lead a "Boots on the Ground Unity Step," where every dancer who joins in will earn a $1 donation for King County Equity Now. Attendees can check out dozens of market and food vendors, panels, and family-friendly activities in Jimi Hendrix Park right next to the Northwest African American Museum. by Shannon Lubetich
