The White House has announced a Juneteenth musical celebration set to take place on Tuesday, June 13.
In 2021, President Biden signed legislation that established Juneteenth as a federal holiday in hopes of bringing into collective consciousness the importance of a historic day in our nation. And, as June is Black Music Month, it is only right the momentous holiday be celebrated with a concert featuring some of our most talented artists as well as students from HBCUs.
The event, which is sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts, National Endowment for the Humanities, Pernod Ricard USA, STARZ #TaketheLead Initiative and The Recording Academy, will feature appearances by Jennifer Hudson, Method Man, Audra McDonald, Ledisi and Colman Domingo. In addition, students from Tennessee State University, Morgan State University and Hampton University will perform for invited guests. P Valley star Nicco Annan and Raising Kanan’s Patina Miller are also slated to make appearances.
