About the event
Join Boston-based racial justice organization Wee the People for an intergenerational art-making extravaganza celebrating Black kings, Black culture, and unapologetic Black joy: Wee Wear the Crowns!
Inspired by iconic painter Jean-Michel Basquiat, whose crown motif honored Black American heroes, participants can collage their own gold or silver crown with decorative materials and wall-to-wall images of Black culture. At 2 pm, gather in the book nook for a story time reading of the award-winning picture book Memphis, Martin, and the Mountaintop: The Sanitation Strike of 1968.
