We are thrilled to extend an invitation for you to join us in celebrating Juneteenth on Monday, June 19, 2023.
Juneteenth Celebration
All American Freedom Day: Renewing Passion for Freedom and Democracy
We are hosting a special event and would be honored to have you as attendees. Together, we will commemorate this historic day by coming together virtually to watch the LIVE STREAM at juneteenthus.info starting at 7:00PM EST.
Let us unite in celebration and reflection as we honor the significance of Juneteenth.
Juneteenth honors the beginning of our nation’s true independence-the freedom for all members of the reunited nation after the American Civil War. More than 400 years after the first enslaved African people were brought to the North American colonies, the fight for justice and equity continues. Join Rev. Dr. James A. Forbes Jr., notable honorees, distinguished speakers, and renowned artists for this national celebration of Black culture.
