Caribbean American Poetry Association Juneteenth 2025 Event

 If you are looking for ways to celebrate Juneteenth this year, as well as National Caribbean American Heritage Month, the Caribbean American Poetry Association, (CAPA) and Preservation Long Island is hosting a free event on Thursday, June 19th. The event is also a tribute to Jupiter Hammon, America's first published black poet.

I am honored to have been invited by CAPA to participate in this year's event. If you are in the Long Island area, I hope that you will join me, Dr. Lindamichelle Baron, Keisha-Gaye Anderson and others for an afternoon of poetry, drama, music, and history. 

The event will be held at Joseph Lloyd Manor, 1 Lloyd Lane, Lloyd Harbor and will begin at 2:00 p.m.
