June 21, 2003 AAGS took part in the 8th Annual Juneteenth Community Celebration held at the African-American Museum of Cleveland.

The event began with a drum call by the Senegalese National Dance Association of Ohio, followed by libations, then an original skit entitled "Dis Wuz Marster Kitchen". The reenactment (complete with a horse-ridden delivery of the 'proclamation' abolishing slavery) set the stage for a day of song, dance, education and activities for both young and old.
