Juneteenth African Freedom Bracelets: Weaving Stories of Heritage and Hope

Primary tabs

Program Description

Event Details

African crafts—beading, weaving, carving, metalwork, pottery—are deeply rooted in cultural traditions, serving as a means of storytelling, preserving heritage, and celebrating community. The materials used, colors chosen, and patterns created are not arbitrary—they often represent family lineage, spiritual beliefs, personal milestones, or historical events. Today, these crafts can also be seen as reminders of both past hardships and the ongoing journey toward justice and equality.
