New Standards Juneteenth Special
New Standards | Jun 17, 2021
Juneteenth is the holiday that celebrates Black Americans’ emancipation from slavery. More than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation had taken effect, U.S. troops arrived in Galveston, Texas — the last Confederate state in the West — on June 19, 1865, to announce that the state’s 250,000+ enslaved people were free.
In celebration Paul Cavalconte presents 4 hours of Black artistry on this weekend's Saturday Show. Join him for a century-plus of music performed and composed by the great African American artists of The American Songbook and beyond!
Saturday at 8pm-12am on WNYC simulcasting on NewStandards.org
Replay Monday 12pm-4pm on NewStandards.org
