Commemorate Juneteenth at the Washington State History Museum, presenting members of the African American Writers Alliance.

Writers will compose and read original works reflecting on items from the WSHS collection and the historical significance of the holiday. In partnership with Write253, guests will also hear local youth writers read original reflections on the significance of Juneteenth, and have the opportunity to participate in letterpress printing.

Join us as we celebrate the official release of Black Washington, the first app to connect us with the inspiring stories, influential icons, and historic landmarks that have shaped Washington’s Black history.
