NYC Parks & NJMH’s Juneteenth Black Music and Dance Celebration at Marcus Garvey Park is an outdoor celebration rooted in community, movement, and sounds from the Black Diaspora.
This Uptown party in honor of “Uncle” Ralph McDaniels celebrates NYC OG who’s made significant contributions to hip-hop. McDaniels is the long-time host of the public television show Video Music Box (since 1983!) and helped introduce Nas and the Wu-Tang Clan to the world, directing their first official music videos.
Join Reverend Nafisa Sharriff for FREE traditional West African dance classes in the Marcus Garvey Park (E. 124th Street and Madison Avenue) every Sunday beginning July 16th and continuing through Sunday, August 20th.
