Juneteenth Day Celebration
The Nineteenth Annual Juneteenth Day Celebration is a program of Kujichagulia – Madison Center for Self Determination Inc. The celebration will be held on Saturday, June 14, 2008 from 10am to 6pm in Penn Park. There are two significant historical events occurring this year for Black Americans, Barack Obama is the “presumptive” democratic candidate for President of the United States and sadly, the 40th Anniversary of the assassination of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. We will highlight them both at this year’s Juneteenth Celebration.
The Celebration promotes empowerment and self-actualization for our children, young adults and families through exposing them to visual, spoken, and dramatized information and other mediums that showcase the vast contributions of black people in America. We work to promote political responsibility, educational advancement, economic sufficiency, good health, social responsibility and collective well being within the Madison black community, all in a festive, fun and family environment, Thus our theme, “Pause, Reflect, Prepare…It’s A New Day.” We want attendees to leave empowered to catch hold to this wonderful movement of change and newness in our Country.
