Fitchburg Abolitionist Park’s
JUNETEENTH CELEBRATION
Saturday June 18th at 10 AM
At 42-50 Snow Street in Fitchburg, MA
Fitchburg Abolitionist Park is celebrating Juneteenth by holding its inaugural ceremony! The community is invited to a performance that will include live music and a flag raising. The Forge is thrilled to participate in this event by presenting original theater pieces by local students. Throughout the ceremony, monologues, poetry, and short scenes will be performed by young actors that relate to Fitchburg and Leominster’s role in the Underground Railroad and Abolition; the Civil Rights Movement; and today’s search for racial equality.
Bringing a lawn chair is recommended, as seating is limited. Learn more about the new Abolitionist Park at https://www.abolitionistpark.org/.
This event is generously supported by Friends of Abolitionist Park, the Massachusetts Cultural Council, Fitchburg Cultural Council, Leominster Cultural Council, and Fitchburg State University.
