A Family’s Juneteenth Reunion at AFRAM

This weekend, Baltimore’s AFRAM festival—East Coast’s biggest free African American celebration—becomes a family reunion hub for the Arnwine clan, descendants of four enslaved women promised land in 1855. After their LA reunion, they’ve made the DMV their new home, with Adam Arnwine leading the tradition as elders pass the torch. The land promised to them became a lake after a nephew overturned the will, but their legacy lives on—especially this Juneteenth weekend, when one ancestor’s 94-year-old slave narrative recounts the day they were freed. Beyond history, they’re thrilled to catch performances from Charlie Wilson, Lil’ Mo, and SWV—celebrating heritage and joy in one unforgettable weekend.
