> Juneteenth is the oldest known celebration of the legal emancipation  
> of enslaved Black people in the United States.  Juneteenth is not  
> only a celebration of remembrance of the very rich history of  
> African American’s in this country, but also a celebration of our  
> achievements in the continued struggle against oppression.   
> Juneteenth is a vibrant celebration that commemorates African  
> American freedom and emphasizes education and community.  Many  
> communities celebrate for a day, a week, and sometimes even for a  
> month hosting celebrations, guest speakers, picnics and family  
> gathering.  In communities around the world people of all races,  
> nationalities and religions are combining efforts to acknowledge a  
> period in our history that shaped and continues to influence our  
> society today.  Sensitized to the conditions and experiences of  
> others, only then can we make significant and lasting improvements  
> in our society
>
> This year the Southside Community Center will host its annual  
> Juneteenth Celebration with a theme of “We Hail from Kings and  
> Queens” on Saturday June 18th.  I am writing to ask for your

> most importantly, you will have fun contributing to your community.   
> Most shifts only last two hours and begin at 7:00am for set-up and  
> conclude by 8:00pm for clean up.  Come to the festival and then work  
> for a shift or vice versa.
