• Our 2024 theme, “From a Whisper to a Shout”, incorporates the impact and influences of literature and the arts in the significant history of Juneteenth and subsequent uplift of freed persons in South Carolina.

• There will be two parts.

• First, invited authors and artists will display works on Saturday, June 22, 2024 at the event at the Historic Harriet Barber House. Their works and performances will illustrate the historical significance of Juneteenth.

• Secondly, four follow up workshops for youth ages 5-17 will be held focused on writing skills and other artistic expressions with the Juneteenth theme. Selected authors and artists will be invited back, virtually or in-person, to provide guidance for young historians with assistance from teachers.

• Goal: Provide youth with an opportunity to learn the history of Juneteenth through literature and the arts during an event and follow up workshops.
