Civic Season
ABHM’s 2025 Juneteenth and summer programming aligned with Civic Season, a new tradition co-created by Made By Us, Gen Z, and cultural institutions to inspire meaningful civic participation among young people. Taking place annually from Juneteenth (our newest federal holiday) through the Fourth of July (our oldest), Civic Season encourages organizations nationwide to develop programs—both in-person and virtual—that connect with Gen Z. While ABHM’s efforts centered on young adults, our events welcomed participants of all ages, from early learners to community elders—reflecting our belief that history impacts everyone and that intergenerational learning strengthens civic engagement and community bonds.
