PHILIPSBURG:--- The VOICES Foundation will host its annual Cultural Ancestral Emancipation Day Celebration at Emilio Wilson Park on Tuesday.
With the Theme “We Grounded,” VOICES will be honoring our Farmers and schools that are also farming. Farming is essential for our people and country. Most importantly, the next generation should know everything about farming. Once we teach and train the young minds in our schools about agriculture, healthy eating, and self-sustainability, we will be raising great successors and entrepreneurs, says Ms. Illis.
VOICES invites the general public to join us in celebrating. Free entrance! It’s a family fun day, so bring your blankets. The park opens at 11 am, where local food, drinks, arts, crafts, and goodies for children will be available for purchase from our vendors.
The Honoring Ceremony will take place from 4:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. We will be entertained by our very own sons and daughters of the soil. Dj Pebbels, Cultural Glamour Dancers, Shoshina Stephens, Lasana Sekou, and our 2025 reining Calypso King Yaadfowl. So make it a date and let us celebrate our Cultural Ancestral Emancipation Day at the Emilio Wilson Park on Tuesday, July 1, with the Honoring of our Farmers and Schools, says VOICES President and Founder Ms. Nkosazana Illis.
