Brooklyn Museum\u00a0<\/a>is hosting its Fourth Annual Saddles and Soul: \u00a0A Juneteenth Black Western Celebration event on Saturday, June 15. The day-long event will feature live DJ sets, line dancing lessons, small bites, art-making\u00a0and more, in celebration of the holiday.<\/p>\n

The annual celebration\u00a0commemorates\u00a0<\/a>the moment on June 19, 1865 where Union troops rode through Galveston Bay, Texas, freeing enslaved Black people\u00a0two years after the official Emancipation Proclamation was signed. The day was officially made a federal holiday in 2021 under President Joe Biden.<\/p>\n

“It is a collaboration within the Black community to come together and really highlight and bring space into the museum,” said Laval Bryant-Quigley, the museum\u2019s director of community engagement and partnerships.<\/p>\n

“It was a way to bring all different diversities and scopes within different neighborhoods together,” alongside the museum, she said.<\/p>\n

With this in mind, the event looks to bridge both educational and community engagement for all who wish to attend. Additionally, the museum hopes to shine a spotlight on the joy and freedom of the event, Bryant-Quigley said.<\/p>\n

With all eyes on Black country music this year, Brooklyn Museum also wanted to honor some of the greats, including Charley Pride and Etta Baker for their cultural contributions to the genre, Bryant-Quigley added.<\/p>\n

The museum is partnering with popular Black-owned businesses to offer diverse activities for visitors of all ages.<\/p>\n

One notable activity is a portrait seminar where visitors can have their photos taken by\u00a0Souls in Focus<\/a>, an NYC-based, community-driven collective and creative agency co-founded by Henry Danner, Sade Fasanya and Natiah Jones.<\/p>\n

The organization has partnered with the Brooklyn Museum since the event\u2019s inception in 2020 and\u00a0during the height of the Black Lives Matter movement.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was important for us to work with organizations like Brooklyn Museum who also wanted to not only tap into the Black community, our thoughts, our emotions and our feelings towards what was happening in the country during that time, but also what had been happening in the country during the last 500 years,\u201d Jones told BK Reader.<\/p>\n

Jones said she also wanted to offer an outlet for people from different cultures to understand what black liberation means.<\/p>\n

Throughout the day, guests can tap into their competitive side in the museum’s game room with popular games like Jenga, Uno and checkers, amongst others.<\/p>\n

The day will also include a denim customization station with\u00a0Hansel Clothing<\/a>, art collaging with Texas artist Deborah Roberts and line dancing with\u00a0Wildcat Ebony Brown<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cookout-style food will be served by the museum’s Chef David Thomas, and plant-based restaurant\u00a0Aunts et. Uncles<\/a>. Baked goods will be catered by\u00a0Brooklyn Sweet Spot<\/a>, which\u00a0is known for their red velvet cake and banana pudding.<\/p>\n

The museum hopes to create good memories for those in attendance \u2014 whether through community, good food or movement, said Bryant-Quigley.<\/p>\n
