Acton Commemorates Juneteenth

On June 19 at 2:00 PM, Acton’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Commission invites you to commemorate Juneteenth. We begin at the Acton Congregational Church with Author Ray Anthony Shephard, who will present a history of Juneteenth and its relevance to other fights for freedom, followed by a musical selection. Around 3:00 PM, we will walk to the Acton Women’s Club, where Local Tour Guide Amy Cole will share Acton’s history about Emancipation and local abolitionists. We end our commemoration with how horse culture ties into the history of Black freedom.

Please RSVP Here. If you have any questions or would like to request reasonable accommodations, then contact us at deic@actonma.gov.
