The Kennedy Center x Black Men Smile: Jacqueline Woodson’s Block Party!

With the Kennedy Center being in the news so much lately and facing such adversity, we’re reflecting back to a more joyful time.

Black Men Smile was personally selected to lead a special activation in Washington DC for the Kennedy Center Block Party hosted by Education Artist-in-Residence and award-winning author Jacqueline Woodson! Free performances, fun-filled games, and various activities will be programmed on the REACH grounds all afternoon.

With the help of some amazing young people from the local DC area, we celebrated, spread, and captured Black Joy in all its Revolutionary glory.
