Pea Island Cookhouse Museum at Collins Park,
622 Sir Walter Raleigh Street, Manteo
The Pea Island Preservation Society, Inc., (PIPSI) is pleased to announce that on June 19, 2021, at 5:00 pm, Tshombe Selby, a beloved native of Manteo will help celebrate Juneteenth, the end of slavery in America, with an afternoon concert, The Sounds of Freedom, at the Pea Island Cookhouse Museum at Collins Park. Tshombe, a tenor who made his debut at Carnegie Hall and who now performs at the Metropolitan Opera House, will use the front porch of the muse-um to sing spirituals and other songs to celebrate freedom.
This free outdoor event is being held in collaboration with the Don and Catharine Bryan Cultural Series and with sponsor support from Towne Bank, Island Xpertees, and Outer Banks Dreams Realty. Please save the date and plan to come.
The concert is being held to remember the importance of Juneteenth, a day the story of Richard Etheridge who grew up enslaved on Roanoke Island, so tellingly reminds us of Richard Etheridge, the nation’s first black Keeper in the US Life-Saving Service and the historic all-black station he commanded, Station Pea Island, is a stark reminder of Juneteenth. The concert is also to encourage volunteers, membership, and financial support for PUPAU,
