Juneteenth at the African American Museum | Hometown hero Quinta Brunson

Juneteenth celebrates the day the last enslaved people in America found out they were free. Today, people of all cultures celebrate across the country on June 19th, and the African American Museum in Philadelphia especially does it big. Host Racquel Williams talks with the museum’s staff about the musical performances, exhibits, and more that you can see at their Juneteenth block party. Then, on Shara in the City, a beloved Philly star comes back to town. Quinta Brunson, creator of “Abbott Elementary”, recently received a key to the city and revealed a mural at the school that inspired the show: her alma mater, Andrew Hamilton School. Shara Dae Howard went to the ceremony and talked with Quinta about how it feels to be back home after such huge success.
