There will be performances by artists and storytellers sharing our rich history and contributions to society.  Since this year Father's Day is shared with Juneteenth, we have a special raffle just for them.  Adell Lashawn Travel is sponsoring 10 fathers with hotel accommodations; over 30 locations to choose from.

The theme for this year's Juneteenth event is "Remembering Our Ancestors". The event is being organized in remembrance of our enslaved ancestors, to give community members an opportunity to learn more about the significance of Juneteenth and to provide our community with a platform to showcase their heritage, culture and creations.
