​​​​​​​Imagination Unchained: A High-End Cultural Celebration For Juneteenth Begins In June

As Juneteenth's significance continues to grow nationwide, Imagination Unchained plays a vital role in preserving African American history while celebrating the resilience and accomplishments of Black communities. The event, emceed by Franky Red, will feature a captivating performance by acclaimed singer-songwriter Cande Rivers, whose soulful blend of jazz, soul, and storytelling will enchant audiences as part of the Juneteenth Concert Experience. The Patra Baker Tech Fund Scholarship will be awarded to support the next generation of Black excellence. Music for the day is powered by Grammy Award-winning producer/DJ EchoSlim.
