The New Terminal One at JFK was proud to sponsor Juneteenth in Queens at Roy Wilkins Park, a celebration of resilience and solidarity in our community. Our team, led by CEO Jennifer Daniel Aument, was honored to commemorate the historic day marking African American emancipation, alongside our community leaders New York Governor Kathy Hochul, New York State Attorney General Letitia James, Queens Borough President Donovan Richards, NY State Senator Leroy Comrie, NY State Assembly Members Alicia Hyndman and Khaleel Anderson, New York City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams, NYC Council Members Nantasha Williams and Selvena Brooks-Powers, and NYC Parks Commissioner Susan Donoghue.
Our appreciation to Assembly Member Alicia Hyndman for her leadership in sponsoring the NY State legislation, signed into law in 2020, that made Juneteenth an official state holiday, and Juneteenth in Queens festival founder, Tunisia M..
As The New Terminal One progresses towards our scheduled opening in 2026, we remain strongly committed to creating pathways to economic empowerment in our communities, honoring the spirit of Juneteenth through our efforts and partnerships every day.
Fantastic to hear about the progress at JFK Terminal One!
