This free family-friendly event will celebrate Juneteenth and recognize the achievements of the African American community in Morrisville and beyond.
Juneteenth is a celebration that commemorates the end of the enslavement of African-American people in the United States.
It marks the day, June 19th, 1865, when the Emancipation Proclamation (which had been issued on January 1st, 1863) was finally read to enslaved African–Americans in Texas.
It took more than two years for word of freedom to get to enslaved people, and freedom is still a process. Some of the Juneteenth events are calls to action, and all encourage community involvement.
The event will include:
- Music
- Historical presentations
- Entertainment
- Food trucks
- Games
- Fish Fry
- Unveiling of a new mural
