SUMMARY:2nd Annual Freedom Day Bird Walk
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the WorldBeat Center on Wednesday\, June 19th for a memorable experience of our Second Annual Harriet Tubman Freedom Bird Walk\, a special event in celebration of Juneteenth. As the nation celebrates Juneteenth today\, we are reminded of a profound and often overlooked chapter in American history—the day the last enslaved African Americans were finally freed. On June 19\, 1865\, in Galveston\, Texas\, Union General Gordon Granger announced the end of slavery\, more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation. \nThis event will honor the legacy of Harriet Tubman and the long journey that enslaved Africans and their ancestors undertook to achieve freedom\, often guided by nature’s signs. We will walk along Park Blvd and into Pepper Park\, identifying birds along the way under the guidance of Tammah Watts and SoCal Bird Nerds. \nIn collaboration with the Celebrate Urban Birds Project and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology\, the bird walk will commence at 9AM at the WorldBeat Center\, where we will take a moment to reflect on the significance of Juneteenth and talk about the significance of Black heritage flags. Johnnierenee Nia Nelson and Starla Lewis will also read poetry and there will be a drum circle led by Nana Yaw Asiedu.  \nUpon returning to WorldBeat Center families can participate in children’s arts and craft activities\, participate in our book raffle for “Keep Looking Up” by Tammah Watts and enjoy our complimentary vegan Juneteenth plate served with cornbread\, collard greens\, and black eyed peas.  \nAll participants will also receive complimentary bird-friendly seed packets so that you can support them with food and shelter. \nDon’t miss out on this extraordinary event celebrating freedom\, nature\, and the indomitable spirit of Harriet Tubman. Bring the family on Wednesday\, June 19th\, 9AM-1PM for an unforgettable experience connecting with birds\, the community\, and the environment.

SUMMARY:Book Launch: A Time for PEAC3E: Propriety in Education with an Academic Curriculum Centered on Culture
DESCRIPTION:The authors are curious. When was the last time you colored? Or developed an action plan for yourself? \nA Time for PEAC3E: The PIEC3ES focus is to: \n\n*Let us color to reduce anxiety and stress\, as the research shows\,\n*Let us reflect\, to recognize the gap between what we KNOW to do versus what we DO\,\n*Let us think and use recall to recognize\, utilize and enhance our thinking skills\, and\n*Let us develop and implement an action plan to improve our outcomes for our personal and professional growth.\n\nColoring\, reflecting\, thinking\, and developing an action plan are the roots of The PIEC3ES. It is a supplement and complement to the book\, A Time for PEAC3E: Propensity in Education with an Academic Curriculum Centered on Culture and Equity. The book has an expanded version of those pieces. \nThe PIEC3ES is an activity book\, including word searches that correspond to the vocabulary words in the book\, with simple to complex examples. It also includes an enhanced reflection and action plan for personal and professional growth. \nAnother highlight is that it is a coloring book. West African Adinkra symbols are used as a succinct way of sharing a specific theme or concept\, using the symbols. For example\, the symbol for quality control\, critical examination and excellence is used for the assessment section. Each symbol reinforces the relationship between the whole (symbol) to the part (narrative) and is aligned with the sections in the book to communicate an idea or value. \nIn addition to the Adinkra symbols for coloring\, peace symbols are used to summarize the evidence-based initiatives\, research and programs that have proven to be successful for meeting the instructional and emotional needs of all children in youth. Interestingly enough\, the majority of the ideas that work can be summarized in three distinctive parts.

SUMMARY:Afro-Mexicanos: Mexico Finally Recognizes Its Black Citizens
DESCRIPTION:Join Worldbeat Cultural Center’s Afro-Mexican program ambassador Jorge Gonzalez for a stimulating discussion on the presence and history of people of African descent in Mexico. For the past 500 years\, Afro-Mexicans have been omitted from Mexican history\, governmental rights\, and society.  According to the 2020 census which was the first time the country’s Black population was officially recognized\, there are 2\,576\,213 self-identified Afro-descendants. Mexico was previously one of only two Latin American countries (with Chile) to not officially count their Black citizens. \n\nPlease scroll down and register. Refreshments served. \n\nMexico has a deep and long African history. Between the 1500s and 1600s\, one of every two enslaved persons bound for the Caribbean was dropped off in Mexico\, mostly through the port of Veracruz. Upon landing\, many escaped to the mountains where they founded a maroon colony and fought against the Spanish for over 30 years led by rebel leader Gaspar Yanga. In 1618\, the Spanish sued for peace. The maroon settlement achieved self-rule as the town of San Lorenzo de los Negros\, now known as Yanga\, considered to be the first liberated and independent non-Native locale in the Americas. Mexico’s iconic son jarocho song\, La Bamba\, is an Afro-diasporic anthem rooted in anti-slavery resistance. \n\nAbout the speaker: \nGonzalez is a first generation Mexican-American/Chicano fronterizo from from San Diego and Tijuana. He lectures widely to raise awareness of the Afro-Mexican presence in Mexico. He is an expert on the Afro-Mexican movement for social justice and recognition in Costa Chica\, Oaxaca.  He’s the author of The (Re)construction of Blackness in Costa Chica\, Oaxaca: NGOs and the Making of an Afro-Mexican Ethnic Group\, and his work is published in the book Converging Identities: Blackness in the Modern African Diaspora.He works full-time as the director of civic engagement for a climate and democracy national organization\, the League of Conservation Voters Education Fund. Gonzalez is also a curator of Afro-diasporic global rhythms as DJ Mafondo.

A native of New Jersey of Ethiopian\, Hebrew-Indigenous\, and Jamaican ascent\, Josh David grew up around the top musicians of the day\, hailing from Union County same as legendary Funk group\, George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn 2004\, Josh David and friends answered the call to Reggae music and formed the band Judah Tribe. Their debut album “Nu Day Dawnin” was released independently in 2013 with a 10th Anniversary Rerelease set for Summer 2023\, co-produced by legendary engineer\, Dennis Thompson. Having performed extensively throughout the Tri-State Area\, in the south\, and even the United Nations\, to opening for such bands as Steel Pulse and Inner Circle\, destiny would have it that Judah Tribe would open for the legendary Reggae group founded by the late Bob Marley\, Peter Tosh\, and Bunny Wailer\, The Wailers in 2012 at New Jersey Performing Arts Center. It was here that Josh crossed paths with distant relatives\, Aston “FamilyMan” Barrett and Aston Jr. leading to his joining forces with The Wailers as lead vocalist in 2015\, spreading JAH message of “One Love”. The Wailers released their debut album after 25 years\, “One World” with songs produced and written by Emilio Estefan\, Josh David\, Aston Barrett\, Jr\, Cedella and Skip Marley\, and Shaggy. The album was nominated for the 2021 Grammys “Reggae Album of The Year”. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE celebrates the life and music of an icon who inspired generations through his message of love and unity.
