Celebrate Juneteenth with The Times's Veronica Chambers as we explore Black joy in all its forms - from the energizing power of togetherness to restorative moments of solitude. From the love we show each other to the joy of loving who we are.

The event takes place on June 17 at 5 p.m. E.T. Viewers can R.S.V.P. free of charge in advance here.

Join Ahmir 'Questlove' Thompson as he discusses Summer Of Soul, his powerful new documentary and the energizing power of togetherness with The Times's Pierre-Antoine Louis. Make joyful noise with an exclusive performance and conversation from the GRAMMY-winning bassist and listener Esperanza Spalding as she talks to The Times's Charlie Brinkhurst-Cuff.

Dance with artist, community organizer and educator Dr. Shamell Bell, and see how movement can unlock the joy within. Recharge with The Lay Out, a group of Brooklyn-based activists and organizers who are helping us reclaim space, time, energy and, most importantly, each other.

How can dance and rest, mindfulness and music and, yes, even napping invigorate our souls and help us face everyday adversity? How does Black joy and hope exist in proximity to Black pain?

Join us for the second episode of our yearlong series Black History, Continued and find out in a powerful presentation that's sure to stay with you, long after the event ends.

You can explore more about the series, including articles, interactive experiences and more here. The event is presented by MassMutual.
