Van Cortlandt Park Alliance is partnering with the Design Trust for Public Space to reimagine an Enslaved African Burial Ground site in the Bronx as a memorial space that fosters long-term healing and restoration.
Van Cortlandt Park Alliance and Bronx Arts Ensemble invite you to an evening celebration of Juneteenth on the lawn of the Van Cortlandt House Museum. The ceremony will begin at 6pm on the lawn of the Van Cortlandt House Museum with performances, including music and spoken word. Then join us for a procession with drums to the Enslaved African Burial Ground with a libation ceremony, honoring the memory of the enslaved people. Learn more about the program here.
