Triple E’s Miki and Rachel Conn on Juneteenth celebration and history

Starting on Friday, June 19, at Vale Cemetery’s African-American Ancestral Burial Ground, the Hamilton Hill Arts Center’s annual Juneteenth celebration will honor freedom, history, and the lives of those who came before us. The celebration continues on Saturday, June 20, at Central Park in Schenectady, featuring art, music, cultural performances, food vendors, family activities, and more.

H. Bosh Jr. sat down with Miki and Rachel Conn to learn more about the event and what attendees can expect during this community celebration.

The event is free and open to the public. More information can be found here: hamiltonhillartscenter.org/juneteenth
