Join us for a special Juneteenth event at Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello: “Ascendant: The Power of Descendant Communities to Shape Our Stories, Places, and Future.” Part of a two-day event to honor Monticello's Getting Word community and the rededication of the Burial Ground for Enslaved People, this public program will highlight the importance of descendant voices in the telling of American history—voices that have often been marginalized, or left out completely. This event is free and open to the public, but registration is required.
