AFRAM’s 50th anniversary celebration opened on Juneteenth in Baltimore’s Druid Hill Park with music, food, cultural pride and thousands of attendees honoring five decades of Black history and community. Performances by artists, including Lil’ Mo, Mario and Ultra Naté, along with reflections from Maryland Gov. Wes Moore and local leaders, highlighted the festival’s role as a family reunion, a celebration of liberation and a reminder that the fight for true freedom continues.
