COMMERCE
In June, we celebrated Black Music Month and Juneteenth with a special lineup of goods commemorating both, at Soulveration’s Juneteenth Block Party. From Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter’s patriotic performances reclaiming the narrative of Black influence and identity in American culture during the tour’s sold-out dates in the DMV, to Gil Scott-Heron’s art activist roots in D.C.’s post-Civil Rights to Statehood movement of the 70s through the 80s whose legacy continues to inspire today.
