CREATE THE CHANGE
Join Us for the Freedom Festival
For many years, Juneteenth has been under-recognized and under-celebrated. Juneteenth marks the nation’s second Independence Day and should be a national pride as a significant milestone in American history. This year, we will continue to blaze trails to help create the platform for the nation to come together to celebrate Juneteenth and host one of the largest Juneteenth celebrations in America.
