Lauderhill, FL – Black Genius in Flight’s Juneteenth celebration showed South Florida what it means to be Black and unchained. The three-day event was presented at the Lauderhill Performing Arts Center, located at 3800 NW 11^th Place, Lauderhill.

“Black Genius in Flight brings the message through the music,” said Stichiz, featured R&B artist and radio DJ for 103.5 The Beat. “We spread it using poetry to art to the violin.”

With the help of Next Weekend Productions, the Juneteenth event was split into three cultural categories, each dedicated to the selected themes of art, comedy and concert. Each day had surprise guests, like a performance by MTV’s Making the Band semi-finalist Marcus Terell and the Serenades; a discussion with filmmaker, Chavoita LeSane, about his documentary, On the Line; and a surprise performance by Grammy-nominated duo, Black Violin.
