This Juneteenth at The Action Lab, we marked the emancipation of those who had been enslaved in the United States. We celebrated with a live brass band, DJ Reborn, BBQ, interactive mural painting with Street Theory, games and sports for kids and adults, and dedicated space to organize and strategize.
