SUMMARY:Juneteenth 2026
DESCRIPTION:Juneteenth 2026: Celebrate Freedom Day at the Lewis \nSponsored by UnderArmour  \nSupported by Morgan State University’s College of Interdisciplinary and Continuing Studies & Walmart \nFriday\, June 19\, 2026\, 10 am – 4 pm | FREE Admission  \n  \nThis Juneteenth\, the Reginald F. Lewis Museum invites the community to gather in celebration under the theme “Juneteenth Brings Balance to America’s Celebration of Freedom.” Inspired by our upcoming exhibition “The Lines We Cross\,” this dynamic program explores how the story of freedom in America has been shaped by the lines we have drawn—and the ones we continue to cross.\n\nThrough history\, dialogue\, and cultural expression\, this celebration reflects on Juneteenth as a powerful moment that helps complete and rebalance the national narrative. By connecting the legacy of emancipation to the ongoing pursuit of equity\, the program invites visitors to consider how we each play a role in shaping a more inclusive and truthful understanding of freedom. \nJoin the Lewis Museum in a myriad of indoor and outdoor Juneteenth Freedom Activities to Include: \n\nJustice and Reconciliation: Film Screening and Panel Discussion\nThis film explores the influential lives of abolitionist Henry Highland Garnet\, a Civil War Chaplain and Harvey Johnson\, a civil rights pioneer and founder of the Brotherhood of Liberty. Join filmmaker Xavier Frink\, Reverend Alvin C. Hathaway Sr.\, Dr. Ida Jones and Dr. Brian Morrison for a post-film discussion afterwards.\nYouth Engagement: Baltimore Miss Juneteenth Pageant\nCelebrate young Black girls with the Baltimore Miss Juneteenth pageant\, a cultural scholarship competition celebrating Black history and heritage. Coordinated by Athena Brown (Little Miss Black USA\, Jr. 2025)\, this local Juneteenth Pageant allows participants to show their pride and community contributions through different categories to include community service\, activism\, and a live Q&A interview.
