Start the weekend with a special series highlighting history in all its forms. Begin with our Juneteenth series to focus on an exploration of the history of the newest federal holiday and the importance of reflecting on the past to bring to light the present.
Juneteenth, which also goes by Emancipation Day, Freedom Day, Liberation Day, or Jubilee Day, is an annual American holiday on June 19th. The holiday commemorates the official end of slavery in the state of Texas in 1865, over two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. While it originated in Texas, Juneteenth is now nationally recognized for its significance and celebrated across the country.
Then continue your weekend by celebrating Father’s Day with special classes curated for Dad and to remember the fond memories the two of you have shared together. Better yet bring Dad to a class to share in the experience together!
Join us in celebrating all the Dads in our lives for Father's Day. You'll be able to reflect on and share memories, hear from Guides about their own Fathers, and learn how to make a Father's Day gift with a personal touch!
