juneteenth jubilee festival ANNOUNCES:NIKOLE HANNAH-JONes
Nikole Hannah Jones - Acclaimed Journalist, Pulitzer Prize Winner & #1 Bestselling Author
Announced March 28, 2022 - So excited to make our first announcement for our 2022 Juneteenth Jubilee Weekend. Nikole Hannah-Jones will join us for a fireside chat at our Juneteenth Jubilee weekend in Oak Bluffs. Nikole is an investigative journalist known for her coverage of civil rights issues. Awarded the MacArthur Fellowship and recently the Pulitzer Prize for her work on the insightful 1619 Project. The 1619 Project book debuted #1 on the NYT Bestseller list where it remained for two months and continues to be in the top best selling books in the nation. Nikole is the inaugural Knight Chair at Howard University, where she founded the Center for Journalism & Democracy. Most of all Nikole is a refreshing beacon of truth at a time of national reconciliation and healing. She will join us on stage at The Tabernacle for an intimate fireside chat followed by a Q&A. We can't think of a more perfect person to keynote our Juneteenth Jubilee weekend which is a celebration of freedom and joy for all Americans. We are incredibly grateful to the MVCMA @mvcampmeeting which is co-sponsoring this Juneteenth Jubilee with us at The Tabernacle. It seems fitting that Nikole will be on the same stage that Frederick Douglass spoke on freedom for all. More great participants will be announced shortly. JJ22 weekend is going to be another inspiring and engaging weekend in Oak Bluffs. If you would like to register your interest in any of our events please send us a note
