![]() ![]() This is a masked and social distancing march-measures we take to show our love for each other. In Manhattan, we’ll stop by the African Burial Ground for a moment of silence, then proceed to City Hall where we’ll have a brief celebration/rally. We will be gathering at Brooklyn Bridge Park at 6 p.m., stepping off at 6:30pm, to walk across the bridge. But by marching together on Juneteenth in a spirit of love, we’re showing that we’re committed to continuing the work of those like Ruby Bridges that fought before us. Valarie chose Juneteenth, because it’s a day of celebration marking the end of slavery- a day when we should focus on love and hope-even if daily acts of racist oppression show us how far we are from real Emancipation. ROUTE: Brooklyn Bridge Park -> Cross bridge into Manhattan -> African Burial Ground National Monument -> City HallĮxperienced black activist and former Lesbian Avenger Valarie Walker is organizing a Juneteenth march of unity, solidarity and love! It’s an occasion to show that people of all races and ethnicities can unite to raise up humanity and overthrow white supremacy- together.
