PHOENIX — The Carver Museum and Cultural Center in South Phoenix will host its inaugural Juneteenth celebration, highlighting the importance of preserving African American History and culture in Arizona.

Brenda Thomson serves as the Board President of the museum; she is passionate about sharing the untold stories of America’s history. Special exhibits like the Monarch Room and the Faces of Us exhibit showcase the priceless artifacts that capture a rich diversity and deep sense of pride. “This is an exciting opportunity to welcome the community back to Carver,” said Fajardo. “From arts and crafts for kids, storytelling, drumming workshops, where you get to try out drumming for yourself, as well as performances from a variety of local acts.”

Museumgoers will see other civil rights leaders, teachers, principals, and businesspeople. Thomson says it’s not just African Americans but people who shaped human and civil rights of all colors. There’s been a lot of work done to preserve the legacy of the high school, which Thomson, says is a labor of love.
