With temperatures in the 80s and a host of Juneteenth celebrations coming up on Saturday, this week is full of events every New Yorker should know about. June 19th marks the 156th anniversary of the emancipation of enslaved Black Americans, and on Juneteenth, it’s important to both celebrate freedom and commemorate the past. If you’re looking for ways to do just that, check out this list of brunch events, film screenings, and dance parties happening between June 15th and June 20th. And consider donating to organizations like Black Joy Farm, Farming While Black, and Soul Fire Farm. MORE
