The Black Faculty and Staff Association (BFSA) at Queensborough Community College invites you to our 3rd Annual Juneteenth Celebration
The theme for this year's celebration: "BLACK LIBERATION THROUGH MUSIC"!
The celebration will feature catered food, courtesy of Burgers Tacos Wings & Seafood - a Black-owned restaurant located in Jamaica, Queens. Additional celebration highlights will include a performance of the Black National Anthem as well as a video presentation by select Black faculty members of the college, African drum performance, and more. Food and community building have been at the core of Juneteenth celebrations for decades. As such, it is befitting to host a celebration and invite the entire Queensborough community to join in the festivities of the monumental milestone in American history, and, now, federal holiday. The celebration also advances the Strategic Plan's goal to create belonging and sense of community in that sharing a meal "increases social bonding and feelings of wellbeing, and enhances one's sense of contentedness and embedding within the community".
This event is made possible thanks to the generous funding and support of the Queensborough Mosaic Fund!
