clp juneteenth event flyer

The kids are out of school, so bring them to Green-Wood to honor Juneteenth with free art-making activities and tours! In partnership with ASNEAA Community Legacy Project (CLP), families are invited to participate in Arts as Advocacy creative projects and visit the gravesites of Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) pioneers; in solidarity to a diverse, equitable, and inclusive future for ALL people.

CLP is a call to honor our ancestors and humanity, while promoting social justice advocacy at open spaces in NYC. At the Fort Hamilton Parkway Entrance to Green-Wood, CLP participants are invited to engage in Arts as Advocacy creative projects.

Visitors may walk a suggested self-guided tour route. Educators will be aboard our historic trolley, sharing about notable gravesites in the Cemetery. The trolley will be making continuous loops between 11:15am and 2:45pm, from the Fort Hamilton Parkway Entrance.

Price: Free. Registration is requested, but not required.
