MLK Saratoga Presents Livestream Performances for Juneteenth

SARATOGA SPRINGS — Caffe Lena and MLK Saratoga present a livestream program featuring theatrical performances by Archie, D. Colin, Tim Martin, Aaron Moore, Julian Tushabe and Siobhan Shea. 

The program is a collaborative production of Black Theatre Troupe of Upstate New York, Creative Action Unlimited and Soul Session Edu-tainment, and will be hosted by local resident Soulist Garland Nelson.

On June 19, 1865, enslaved African-Americans in Galveston, Texas, were told they were free. The observance of June 19 – Juneteenth - is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States.

The local event takes place 7 – 9 p.m. Friday, June 19 and will be livestreamed via Caffelena.org. Donations will be shared with performing artists.
