Join the Cleveland History Center on June 19 and 27 for Magnoliafest, an arts-filled Black Music Month celebration in honor of Juneteenth. These events are designed to recognize the significance of the Juneteenth celebration in Black history and to pay tribute to Dr. A. Grace Lee Mims, one of the founders of the Black History Archives Project (now the African American Archives Auxiliary of the Western Reserve Historical Society), host of WCLV’s “The Black Arts” radio program for more than 40 years, and a long-time faculty member at The Music Settlement (TMS) on Magnolia Drive in University Circle. This program series is presented with support from the Center for the Study of Religion and Spirituality in the History of Africa and the Diaspora (The RASHAD Center, Inc.), Cuyahoga Arts and Culture, the Music Settlement, and the Western Reserve Historical Society.
