Don’t let anything stop you from speaking up for yourself and others! Join us in the STEAM Lab for an engineering activity that challenges you to build a structure to help a tiny figure speak into a microphone.

Juneteenth is a federal holiday that recognizes the 13th amendment to the U.S. Constitution. This amendment outlawed the practice of enslaving people in America. For 246 years, generations of African American families were viewed as property, to be owned by another human being. Enslaved African Americans were bought, sold, separated from loved ones, forced to work without wages, and suffered inhumane conditions.

Juneteenth honors the “freedom fighters” and generations who came before us, as much as it recognizes their persistence towards freedom and restitution.

Boston Children’s Museum celebrates Juneteenth with a variety of music, dance, and artmaking activities developed in collaboration with community organizations, independent artists, museum educators, and local creatives. Through these partnerships, the Museum highlights the ingenuity of African American artistic traditions born out of resistance. These practices continue to flourish and fuel modern day movements which advocate for the importance of speaking out against injustices of any kind.

At Boston Children’s Museum we affirm, value, and support all identities. We also understand that sometimes people have to be invited into a space to know that they belong there. That means we offer events and programs intentionally created to uplift specific communities, and all are welcome to join in the celebration.
