St. Joseph Center hosted its first annual Juneteenth celebration, honoring Black culture, history, and community through music and dance.

The celebration featured the Women’s African Drum Circle SHINE Muwasi, a Southern California group that shares West African drumming traditions through performance, education, and community engagement.

Observed each year on June 19, Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery in the United States and provides an opportunity to reflect on freedom, history, and the continued pursuit of equality.
