NAAM Is Putting on Its First Juneteenth Week Across nine days, the museum presents 10 events to commemorate the holiday, both online and in person.

Each museum has picked a word from the Negro National Anthem Lift Every Voice and Sing to represent its segment of the virtual event. For its part, Seattle’s Northwest African American Museum has taken that title to heart: NAAM picked the word “hope” and—since president and CEO LaNesha DeBardelaben figured choirs are founts of it—started its own choir.
