June Jubilee: A Celebration of Black Excellence

June Jubilee: A Celebration of Black Excellence, a day of joy and inspiration with speakers, workshops, entertainment, and family activities.

The Los Angeles Public Library celebrates community, culture, and storytelling at the Fourth Annual June Jubilee, a free, family-friendly event featuring inspiring speakers, live entertainment, hands-on arts and crafts, and workshops on health, genealogy, technology, and more.

Arrive early for an African-inspired Opening Ceremony and water-libation blessing honoring ancestors and community, accompanied by vibrant dancers and drummers who welcome guests with spirit, joy, and cultural pride.

New this year, attendees are invited to participate in CommUnity Archives interviews—an opportunity to share personal stories, preserve family legacies, and record oral histories of life and experience in Los Angeles.

This event is free and open to all, so bring your friends and family along for a day of celebration and learning!

Changing Tones is a Los Angeles Public Library advisory committee created in 2019. The group was tasked with a mission to support representation, racial equity, and inclusion of Blacks in the library's workforce, programming, collections, and services. Furthermore, Changing Tones works to create an environment filled with diverse perspectives, opportunities, and resources.
