R4BL BOS is partnering with @thetriennial for our Juneteenth ride, on Saturday, June 22nd.
We will ride to Charlestown Navy Yard, where Ife Franklin will lead a processional to her sculpture at Lot Lab, honoring the lives of Mark - hung for 20 years, Phyllis - burned, and Phebe - likely sent overseas, three Black humans, enslaved in Charlestown, who gave their lives in pursuit of their freedom. The processional will be followed by guided meditation and sound bath by @marleneboyette.
This ride, while open to all, is intended as a healing practice for Black Americans who are descendants of enslaved Africans. All participants are encouraged to wear white.
The route to the Navy Yard will be posted mid-week.
This ride will start at approximately 1:15pm.
The Ride for Black Lives BOS partners with thetriennial for a Juneteenth ride on Sat 6/22 at 1:15 pm.
