Jamel Gaines Creative Outlet Commemorates Juneteenth
Jamel Gaines Creative Outlet presents a multimedia production that includes dance, theatre, music, spoken word, film, photography and costuming, exploring the historical accounts of commemorating Juneteenth.
Juneteenth honors the end to slavery in the United States and is considered the longest-running African American holiday; it became a Federal holiday on June 17, 2021. The JGCO program will feature Jamel Gaines’s Thank You, which celebrates the 60th Anniversary of the August 1963 civil rights March on Washington; and Four Little Girls, which recognizes the 60th Anniversary of the tragic Baptist Church Bombing in Birmingham, Alabama, that occurred within the month of the March. Gha’il Rhodes Benjamin is featured as Spoken Word Artist in the latter work. The program will also feature Mothers of War by Christopher Huggins, a former member of Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, first performed by Creative Outlet in 2022.
