Black in Alaska Juneteenth Event

Visit Black in Alaska, a multimedia project with interviews, photos and short videos profiling 50 Black Alaskans, now on view in the first-floor atrium. Participants are from all over the state and represent diverse backgrounds in age, gender and socioeconomic status. Through storytelling, this project aims to dismantle stereotypes and create a deeper connection between communities.

Join us as we recognize Juneteenth (June 19), the day commemorating of the ending of slavery in the United States. Admission is free thanks to support from Global Credit Union, Hotel Captain Cook, Fire Island Rustic Bakeshop, MTA Solutions, Moose’s Tooth Pub & Pizzeria, Bear Tooth Theatrepub & Grill and Broken Tooth Brewing.
