Queen of Funk Chaka Khan led a royal, star-studded lineup of performers for CNN’s inaugural ‘Juneteenth: a Global Celebration for Freedom’ concert Sunday (June 19).
Airing live from Los Angeles’ famous Hollywood Bowl, the performance roster included the likes of Earth, Wind & Fire, Mary Mary, Michelle Williams, Khalid, Ne-Yo, Bell Biv Devoe, Yolanda Adams, and notably the renowned all-Black symphony orchestra Re-Collective Orchestra (conducted by Thomas Wilkins and Derrick Hodge with musical direction from Adam Blackstone and Questlove).
A most fitting toast to the federal holiday which commemorates the official end of slavery in the U.S., look inside if you missed any of the action when it first aired.
