June 20, 2020 8:00-10:00PM Juneteenth Sweet Honey in the Rock Virtual Concert

SWEET HONEY IN THE ROCK® invites you to a virtual concert and conversation on Juneteenth (Friday, June 19 at 8 PM EST), in honor of this day in 1865 when news of emancipation reached the last group of enslaved Black people in Galveston, TX - two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued, making slavery illegal.

Join us for an interactive performance where, in spite of COVID-19 and continued systemic racial oppression, we stand together as a global community, in spirit and in song, even while apart. Through music, poem, and discussion, we will reflect on our nation’s turbulent racial past and present, while uplifting the dignity and wellbeing of all people. As Toni Morrison so eloquently expressed, “this is precisely the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak; we write; we do language. That is how civilizations heal.”

The performance will stream live from the historic stage at The Lincoln Theater in Washington, DC. Special guests include Bryan Stevenson, Danny Glover, Gina Belafonte, Sonia Sanchez, Debbie Allen, Christian McBride, Aloe Blacc, William Barber III, Kiki Shepard, Jenifer Lewis, Jordan Waré, and Sophia Dawson.

TWO WAYS TO PARTICIPATE:

1 - Purchase a ticket and sit in the front row of our interactive audience via Zoom video conference, where you will be seen by the performers and fellow attendees. As a video participant, you will be able to clap, sing along, share your love, and add your voice to the discussion. Net proceeds will benefit the crucial work of the Equal Justice Initiative.

TICKETS: www.sweethoneyintherock.org ($19 per device)

NOTE: Tickets are limited.

2 - Alternatively, you can watch the live stream for free right here on Facebook, on YouTube, or online at https://sweethoneyintherock.org.
