Descendants’ Day 2024
Drum Procession & Libation Ceremony
Drum Procession leading Descendants through the Descendant Grove and to the Remembrance Structure
The drum procession was led by drummers Slam Stewart (SlamOne LLC) and Alberto Limonta Perez to the Remembrance Structure.
Descendant and mezzo-soprano Veronica Williams sang several spirituals with her beautiful voice.
Preistess Omiyẹmi Green performed the Libation Ceremony in honor of the Ancestors who were enslaved at Menokin. Descendants called upon the names of their Ancestors and loved ones who have since passed.
After, flowers were carried and placed near one of the trees in the Descendant Grove by two of the younger Descendants in their Ancestors’ memory.
