National Juneteenth Museum starts celebrations early with first Fort Worth exhibition

The National Juneteenth Museum, though not yet built in Fort Worth, is launching its first exhibition titled "Declarations of Freedom" on June 12, 2025. Curated by Lauren Cross and Christopher Blay, the show blends historical artifacts and photographs with contemporary works by North Texas artists including Vicki Meek, Spencer Evans, Sedrick Huckaby, and Letitia Huckaby. It precedes the museum's inaugural Freedom Vibes festival (June 19-22), featuring concerts, a block party, and a gospel program. State legislators have allocated $10 million toward the museum's $70 million goal, which CEO Jarred Howard frames as a nonpartisan American story.
