Juneteenth Celebrated Through Drum, Dance, and Memory

Juneteenth isn’t just a holiday—it’s a powerful celebration of freedom, resilience, and history. In Portsmouth, the African Burying Ground Memorial came alive with West African drumming, dance, and community spirit as the Akwaaba Ensemble led a moving tribute. Reverend Rose Marie Pete reminded us this day honors pain, perseverance, and faith—celebrating the journey from bondage to liberation. The day kicked off with a Freedom Walk from Kittery, Maine, to downtown Portsmouth, part of a statewide Juneteenth movement across New Hampshire. It’s a call to remember, reflect, and keep the legacy of freedom alive for generations. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
