Due to our current health crisis, we have made the decision to hold a “virtual” Juneteenth Commemoration throughout the month of June.  However, we wanted to be able to provide some of our signature programs including the Mr. & Miss Juneteenth scholarship pageant. Attached, please find the announcement and application. Contestants will be interviewed online and we will present the winners via live streaming!  Our team is working out all the details for this and our other online events.

Keep an eye out for our full schedule of presentations. Our 2020 theme is “Perfecting Unity/United In Hope” and will be exemplified as we work collectively to make it through these challenging times.

Remember that we must stay “socially connected” as we “practice physical distancing”.
