Juneteenth is tomorrow, Friday, June 19th. There are many ways to observe Juneteenth, the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States, so we’ve compiled a list of Juneteenth events happening virtually here in the Greater Boston area. As the fight for equity and justice continues, we hope this list provides some resources to commemorate this vital day in history and celebrate the contributions, writing, art, and experiences of Black Americans.

Join Memoir Incubator alum E. Dolores Johnson on Wednesday, June 17th at 7pm for a virtual discussion of her memoir Say I'm Dead: A Family Memoir of Race, Secrets, and Love. She will be joined in conversation by author and Director of GrubStreet's Muse and the Marketplace Sonya Larson. Learn more and pre-register here. 

Dear GrubStreet Community,
 
We want to acknowledge the acute pain of this moment for our community and the nation. GrubStreet is a cultural organization, and we cannot proceed with business as usual when our culture is so clearly broken.  
 
The brutal murders and systemic oppression of Black people must end

Interested in taking your essays to the next level? Join us virtually on July 14th for an informal Q&A session on our Essay Incubator, our eight-month intensive program for writers seeking high-level feedback on their essays, immersion in a community of essay writers, and a leg up on the publishing world. Instructor Ethan Gilsdorf will answer any questions you have about the program. We'll give you all the information you need to know about the application process, what the program entails, the schedule, the philosophy behind our approach, and anything else on your mind.
