Mother Nature rained on the parade, but she didn’t stop Flint residents from gathering to participate in the nationally-celebrated commemoration of the end of slavery in the United States. The Downtown event featured live music and performances, dancing, rappers, food, vendors and more.

The annual summer FUNdraiser included a cocktail reception, dinner, silent and live auctions and a deejay. Proceeds support the many quality learning opportunities the Museum offers to community children.
