The Journey of Freedom Celebration at Ridgeview Branch Library

On Monday, June 13, from 4-6 p.m., come by the Ridgeview Branch Library to commemorate Juneteenth. Explore the journey of freedom with crafts that will remind you of the journey in our rearview and the journey head!

We will have three activities to commemorate three of the stages in the Journey to Freedom. These activities include: helping to create a community paper quilt to commemorate the journey to freedom by way of escape, creating flags to commemorate the journey to freedom by way of emancipation, and learning new crafting styles while remembering we are still on this journey to freedom. This event is part of a larger celebration of Juneteenth happening across Catawba County.

For more information, call 828-345-6037. Ridgeview Branch Library is located at 706 1st Street SW, at the corner of 1st Street and 7th Avenue SW, beside Ridgeview Recreation Center. All library programs are free and open to the public
