New Orleans
June 19 |
The New Orleans African American
Museum of Art, Culture & History, 1418 Governor Nicholls Street,
New Orleans, Louisiana from 11:00am - 6:00pm will serve as host
site of the Juneteenth Jazz Jam & Art Festival. The
Festival will combine this fast growing national commemorative
with a celebration of Jazz, Art, and Voter Registration and
Education.
Planned events include an art exhibition, “Ladies in Jazz”
performance, open mic poetry, an artist market, and a voters
registration drive with the support of Operation Big Vote's
Unity 04 Campaign.
Just as Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom from slavery,
this event will promote a sense of freedom for our local artist.
This celebration will combine efforts with the National
Coalition on Black Civic Participation, Unity ‘04 Civic
Engagement and Voter Empowerment Campaign, and the National
Urban League.
The National Coalition on Black Civic Participation envisions a
nation in which all citizens have the tools to participate fully
in the democratic process at the local, state, national and
global levels. By continuing to lead the fight to eliminate
remaining barriers to civic participation, the National
Coalition will promote greater social and economic justice to
enhance the quality of African American life.
Unity ‘04 Civic Engagement and Voter Empowerment Campaign is a
nonpartisan network of 130 organizations that are united to
increase the Black vote in the 2004 election cycle and build a
groundswell of civic participation in the Black community. What
better way to celebrate our freedom than through an expression
of our art and voter participation.
