In celebration of Caribbean American Heritage Month, the International African American Museum and Charleston Carifest spotlight Antigua & Barbuda—an island nation shaped by its bold emancipation in 1834, rich Carnival traditions, and lasting ties to the African Diaspora. This special evening explores not only the country’s revolutionary past but also its vibrant present—where music, art, diplomacy, and community activism thrive. Through engaging discussion and storytelling, our panelists will reflect on the significance of emancipation, the role of cultural festivals in shaping identity, and how Antiguans and the broader Caribbean community continue to inspire global diasporic movements today.
Meet and Greet Hon EP Chet Greene, Antigua & Barbuda Minister of Diaspora Affairs.
