Beautiful Blackbird: A Juneteenth Celebration
2025-06-21 10:00 - 11:30, 2025-06-19 10:00 - 11:30
Join the Wilson Museum & Witherle Memorial Library for a Juneteenth Celebration featuring Beautiful Blackbird by Ashley Bryan! “We’ll see the difference a touch of black can make. Just remember, whatever I do, I’ll be me and you’ll be you.”

A theatrical read-aloud of Beautiful Blackbird, followed by a guided craft inspired by the book.
With Georgia Zildjian of the Wilson Museum and Debra Orado of the Witherle Memorial Library

Beautiful Blackbird explores the appreciation of one’s own heritage and beauty. In this story, the colorful birds of Africa ask Blackbird, who they think is the most beautiful of birds, to color them black so they can be beautiful too, though Blackbird reminds them that true beauty comes from the inside.
Youth from Kindergarten to Grade 4 and their grown-ups are invited to a theatrical read-aloud of Beautiful Blackbird, followed by a guided craft inspired by the book! Led by Georgia Zildjian (Manager of Museum Learning, Wilson Museum) and Debra Orado (Children’s Librarian, Witherle Memorial Library), attendees will create their own beautiful birds and a communal art piece as they explore the beauty and strength of our differences. Attendees must be accompanied by a grown-up.
We are offering two events at the Wilson Museum’s Hutchins Education Center to provide options for different schedules:

Thursday, June 19, 10 – 11:30 am

Saturday, June 21, 10 – 11:30 am

Participants do not have to attend all three, although when a group stays together, the participants begin to develop seminar skills that make the conversation and insights quite rich.
Readings will be shared with participants over email several days prior to each session. Preregistration required and group is limited to 12 per seminar.
