HIDDEN HISTORY: THE HISTORY OF JUNETEENTH with Evelyn Charity
June 21 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
FreeBIG is an acronym for Black in the Gorge, a new group formed through a partnership of the Oregon State University Extension-Open Campus program and The Next Door, Inc. BIG was formed in order to reduce isolation by connecting Black, Black biracial, and Black multiracial youth and their families together to form friendships and engage in enrichment activities. The group is committed to providing the following services and activities:
• Facilitation of activities for youth to engage with Black, Black biracial and Black multiracial role models
• Create social and educational opportunities as identified by the group
• Offer opportunities to build bridges of cross-cultural connection
In this Hidden History, Evelyn will discuss BIG’s role in the community- focused planning and bringing to fruition Hood River’s Juneteenth celebration.
