Our mission is to educate Iowans on the history of Juneteenth and to preserve Juneteenth for future generations to come. 

​Join the Des Moines Public Library and Iowa Juneteenth to celebrate Juneteenth here in Iowa. Together with Dwana Bradley, General Chairperson of Iowa Juneteenth, we will explore the history of this day and how we celebrate here in Des Moines, learn what is being planned for the future, and have a story time and more for kids!
