The White House hosted its annual Juneteenth Concert on the South Lawn last Monday to celebrate ahead of the federal holiday on June 19.
The star-studded concert included special performances from Patti LaBelle, Charlie Wilson, Kirk Franklin, Brittney Spencer and more.
But what does it take to organize a celebration with so much significance?
Mike and John Burns of The Burns Brothers are the masterminds behind it. The siblings spoke with Scripps News about how they work to create a memorable evening that celebrates culture and music with big-name talent and an audience that includes the president and vice president of the United States.
