Juneteenth has been celebrated in our country since 1865, so why is it so popular and important today? Come and find out! Light refreshments will be served.
We will discuss Frederick Douglas and his contributions, the promises and disappointments of The Emancipation- Proclamation, and the past, present, and future impact of Juneteenth.
Celebrating Juneteenth is presented by Kwa and Ebony Hill of Hilltastic Coaching.
Kwa and Ebony Hill are both life-long Akronites who are relationship and life coaches, authors, and community activists. They believe in building family, community, and culture and being the change they want to see in their community. They provide workshops and programming on a variety of self-development and cultural topics.
The Firestone Park Branch Library has the tools and resources that customers need to meet their personal and professional goals—computers and computer classes, mini-clinics for one-on-one tech assistance, WiFi, printing, copying, scanning, faxing, and more. A rich collection of books, music, and movies, including a large Parent-Teacher collection, complements these services, offering learning and entertainment opportunities responsive to the needs and interests of the Firestone Park community.
The Firestone Park Branch Library is also a neighborhood hub for programming for all ages—storytime for the youngest customers, Fun Club for school-age visitors, teen gaming and crafting, adult learning opportunities, and an evolving NatureConnect space that inspires outdoor exploration programming across the seasons. Firestone Branch Library staff is out in the community—at schools and local events—and at the library to bring educational and entertainment resources to all.
