In celebration of Juneteenth (the oldest known celebration commemorating the ending of slavery in the United States), the Prince George’s African American Museum and Cultural Center offered #Solidaritrees: Visioning Black Liberation workshop on June 24, 2016. This workshop was facilitated by Black Lives Matter DC co-instigator, Omolara Williams McCallister. Since then, #Solidaritrees has been converted to a drop-in project at the museum.
