Brick marks Juneteenth weekend with 2 parties
It took a while for African-Americans in Texas to get word that they were freed by Abraham Lincoln — more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation, in fact, and months after the Civil War officially ended. The Brick will mark the holiday for the gay community this weekend with two events: On Friday, The Black Carpet Affair features Drag Racer Kennedy Davenport, left; on Saturday, a foam party with “surprise guests.” Heck, in foam, everything’s a surprise!
