The Fly Girl Guide to Juneteenth Events in NYC
Trump ain’t make no Juneteenth famous. Trump just be making up stuff but he hasn’t thought to brand facemasks with his MAGA slogan. That would make too much sense.
For my woke readers who been knew and been celebrated Juneteenth, here’s a list of Juneteenth events in NYC. Wear a mask, social distance and turn up.
A Freedom Ride: #routewithapurpose
Ride in solidarity in Good Co Bike Club’s "Freedom Ride: #RouteWithAPurpose" honoring Juneteenth. The ride will start at 1pm at the steps of the Brooklyn Museum, travel to Coney Island and return to the historic district of Fort Greene Park — inspired by locations and landmarks relevant to the Black community and will include stops at Black-owned restaurants, which will provide refreshments.
