“EBONY has long been a pillar of the Black community, and I am proud to join them in elevating the Juneteenth experience with this special Atlanta event,” said Wale. “My hope is that together we can inspire the world while showcasing our appreciation of our past and the celebration of our future.”
EBONY’s Juneteenth celebration in Atlanta was open to members of The Gathering Spot and select VIP and celebrity guests who enjoyed music, spoken word, and an exclusive performance. The event aimed to be an inspiring experience that celebrated Black art, culture and progress.
