Milwaukee leaders gave a preview of the city’s Juneteenth celebration, with several events that haven’t been included for some time.
The Freedom Ball returns for the first time since 2016 from 6 to 10 p.m. Saturday, at the Milwaukee County Zoo. There is a online auction, with proceeds going toward scholarships for Little Miss and Junior Mr. Juneteenth, and Miss and Mr. Juneteenth. The online auction ends at 8 p.m. Saturday.
Chauntel McKenzie, chief operating officer of America’s Black Holocaust Museum, announced that the museum would be part of the holiday festivities for the first time in 14 years. After its lengthy closure, the museum formally reopened in February as an anchor in the revival of Milwaukee’s Bronzeville area — a Black social, cultural and entertainment hub in its time.
