On the KMOJ Morning Show, Anika Robbins, Founder and CEO of the ANIKA Foundation, joins Chantel Sings to discuss Juneteenth Minnesota 2026: A Family Celebration, taking place June 19 at the Minnesota State Capitol. The free, family-friendly event commemorates the 160th anniversary of emancipation while celebrating Black history, culture, music, and community through live performances, educational resources, food, art, and entrepreneurship. Robbins highlights performances by Billboard-charting R&B artist Raheem DeVaughn, local musicians, and the event’s recognition of community leaders through the Community Griot Awards. The conversation also explores the importance of Juneteenth, the impact of scholarship opportunities for students and adult learners, and how the celebration continues to unite generations through reflection, empowerment, and joy.
