Join us for the Juneteenth Celebration at the African American Cultural Garden, June 14, 2009, from approximately Noon through 4 PM

The celebration will be held at 890 Martin Luther King Blvd (immediately south of exit to St. Clair Avenue). Celebrate with the Cleveland African-American community as they mark “Juneteenth”, the annual celebration started in 1865 in Galveston TX by slaves upon their emancipation by Union forces.

We’ve recently added links to two websites that are maintained by individual garden delegates.

The first is for the Hungarian Cultural Garden. Lel Somogyi of the Hungarian Garden has put together a great site with news, events and history pertaining to that garden, and has even posted a full oral history interview about the Cultural Gardens (conducted by the Cleveland State University Dept. of History). You can find the link on the Hungarian Garden page of this site, or visit: hungarianculturalgarden.org

The next site, for the Cleveland Slovenian Community, is maintained by Tim Percic and Phil Hrvatin of the Slovenian Cultural Garden delegation. The site contains news, events, photo galleries, community bulletins, and an impressive list of resources for Slovenian-Americans living in the Cleveland area. Link from the Slovenian Garden page of this site or visit: www.clevelandslovenian.com

We will post more websites, both in the news section of this site, and on relevant garden pages, as they are developed.
