SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.–A free family day at the Museum of the African Diaspora (MoAD) this Sunday from 12 pm to 6 pm, offers visitors an opportunity to celebrate Juneteenth and Father’s Day in an enriching setting, thanks to the generosity of Lennar Urban.
“Lennar Urban is excited to support a fun and community-building event like Free Family Day. We’re proud to partner with such a national leader like the Museum of the African Diaspora in honor of Juneteenth and Father’s Day,” said Kofi Bonner, regional vice president of Lennar Urban.
Visitors to MoAD will have much to explore. They will be able to enjoy performances from the incredible Bay Area talent, the Marcus Shelby Trio. They’ll also listen to tales woven by storyteller Kirk Waller; learn the basics of how to conduct an oral history of a family or community member with Leah McGarrigle; and participate in a Free Write Family Poetry activity.
In the Celebration Circle visitors will be able to view African American Lives and Faces of America with Henry Louis Gates, Jr., and the Wells Fargo Heritage Center will feature Juneteenth, a documentary on the historical celebration of emancipation.
“We are grateful to Lennar Urban for their support of MoAD and our Juneteenth and Father’s Day celebration,” said Grace C. Stanislaus, MoAD’s executive director. “Lennar Urban has a long history of providing this kind of sponsorship that supports bringing diverse audiences together for fun and enrichment.”
