Juneteenth Celebration: Songs of Liberation, Freedom and Disability Awareness
Wednesday 5:00 PM PST
The People’s Music Network will honor and celebrate Juneteenth with our second online community art performance event on Wednesday, June 14, 2023.
We are inviting musicians and poets to register for this event to share poetry and songs of Liberation, Freedom and Disability Awareness in honor of Juneteenth. We’re particularly seeking pieces that speak to the struggles of people fighting for a better world, free from war, poverty, racism, and all forms of oppression. We’re prioritizing inclusion of artists with disabilities who are physically unable to attend the many in-person Juneteenth events taking place that same week, and artists of color.
Juneteenth is a holiday of social inclusion. Last year on June 20 was the first time this historical event was observed as a federally recognized holiday.
How to Participate
Members of the People’s Music Network, especially new members, and invited artists may use the online registration form to sign up to share a song or a poem during this event OR be part of the audience. Just press the “Register” button on the left side of the web page.
Registered performers and audience members receive an e-mail message containing the Zoom Meeting link immediately after they register. Registering as a performer does not automatically mean you’ll be included in the final performance line up, but it is the first step. We encourage live performance, but you may submit a pre-recorded video when you register to substitute for a live performance. Artists sharing videos first give a live introduction if possible.
Registration Deadline: Sunday, June 11, at 8:00 PM (ET)
The order of performance will be released the two days after the registration deadline. You may register for this event after the deadline, and you’ll be added to the wait list.

What Is Juneteenth?: An Online Learning Experience
Learn the history of America’s newest federal holiday June 19 – Juneteenth, also known as Emancipation Day and Freedom Day.
Thursday, June 15th 2023 – 5:00PM to 7:30PM PST
Join us this year for “What is Juneteenth?: An Online Learning Experience.” In this virtual class session we will be discussing the history of Emancipation Day as a holiday and how it has been celebrated throughout the years in America.
When President Joe Biden signed legislation in 2021 making June 19 the latest federal holiday; it forever changed the status of a date primarily celebrated by African Americans in the past to now be recognized by all US citizens.
Juneteenth (also known as Freedom Day, Jubilee Day, Liberation Day, and Emancipation Day) is the oldest known celebration honoring the end of slavery in the United States.
On June 19,1865 Union General Gordon Granger led thousands of federal troops to Galveston, Texas to announce that the Civil War had ended, and the formerly enslaved were freed. Thousands of enslaved Texans were unaware that their freedom had been secured.
With companies like Nike, Lyft, Vox and others giving paid time off to employees and with retailers offering sales and promotions to honor the holiday, it is even more important that people know what and why they are celebrating.
THE PRESENTATION
There are plenty of details that are often overlooked that can help us better understand the process of Emancipation. It did not happen overnight. In the special presentation we will cover information including:
- The History of the Emancipation Proclamation
- Details of General Order #3
- The 13th Amendment
- How the Holiday has been celebrated and more
This online experience is very interactive and includes:
- 2 pop quizzes
- Rare footage of Celebrations from the early 1900’s
- Interviews from esteemed scholars and more
We are hosting this event multiple times throughout the month of June to ensure that those who are interested have ample opportunities to learn and participate.

Understanding Juneteenth: An Online Presentation
Learn the history of Emancipation Day Holiday now commonly referred to “Juneteenth,” and how it has been celebrated throughout the US.
Sunday, June 18th 2023 – 5:00PM to 6:00PM PST
“We believe education must be part of the celebration.” Baba Aundar Maat
Join us Sunday, June 18, at 5 pm for an online presentation “Understanding Juneteenth”, a documentary film by Melaneyes Media. In this online experience we will be view the film and discuss the history of Emancipation Day as a holiday and how it has been celebrated throughout the years here in America.
Juneteenth (also known as Freedom Day, Jubilee Day, Liberation Day, and Emancipation Day) is the oldest known celebration honoring the end of slavery in the United States.
On June 19, 1865, Union General Gordon Granger led thousands of federal troops to Galveston, Texas to announce that the Civil War had ended, and slaves had been freed. Approximately 250,000 enslaved Texans had no idea that their freedom had been secured by the government.
In 1979, Texas became the first state to declare Juneteenth a “holiday of significance.” Celebrations of the date continued to snowball, especially after the turn of the millennium.
In 2020 with demonstrations and uprisings taking place all over the world protesting racial violence and discrimination sparked by the murders of Auhmad Arbery, Breonna Taylor and George Floyd, last year’s Juneteenth turned into a huge teaching moment.
We want to make sure that with the commercialization of the celebration we don’t forget the true significance and importance of the holiday. It is vital that the history of Emancipation is not distorted or lost; this is why we are hosting this presentation.
