Soul of the Southside
Join us for a celebration of Liberation at Soul of the Southside, a FREE event for all ages happening from 12-8pm on June 19th-Juneteenth! The celebration takes place at Lake St. and Minnehaha Ave. in south Minneapolis. We create space at Arbeiter Brewing, Moon Palace Books, The Hook and Ladder Theater and the newly renovated Coliseum Building!
Discover the vibrant spirit of Juneteenth – a holiday rooted in the African-American observance of liberation. Dating back to June 19, 1865, when our enslaved ancestors in Galveston, Texas, received the news of the Emancipation Proclamation, Juneteenth represents a powerful act of freedom and resilience.

Racial slurs, personal attacks, obscenity, profanity, and SHOUTING do not meet the above standard. Such comments are posted in the exhibit Hateful Speech.
