ABC11 Together highlights the strength of the human spirit, good deeds, community needs, and how our viewers can help.
RALEIGH -- The ABC11 Together Perspectives for June 12, 2022 features segments on the Juneteenth Jubilee in Fayetteville, Out! Raleigh Pride and the NC Fatherhood Conference.
Juneteenth Jubilee
Juneteen is now a federal holiday. Last year President Joe Biden signed a bill creating the new holiday on June 19, commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. Because June 19 falls on a Sunday this year, the federal holiday will be observed on Monday, June 20.
On Saturday, June 18, Fayetteville's Cool Spring Downtown District will sponsor the city's first Juneteenth Jubilee. It will take place from 12PM to 9:30PM at Festival Park and will feature food, music, art and a lot of family fun.
The headlining act for the festival is Fayetteville native rapper Morray.
Schedule of Performances:
1PM - Reggie Codrington
3PM - Diali Cissokho and Kaira Ba
5PM - Fatback Band
7PM - Amythyst Kiah
8:45PM - Morray
ABC11 Together is a proud sponsor of this year's Juneteeth Jubilee.
