Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. On June 19, 1865, a Union General rode into Galveston, Texas to announce that the Civil War had ended, and slaves had been freed.
Golf Classic
Juneteenth Jubilee commences with the 2nd Annual Juneteenth Jubilee Golf Classic which celebrates the history, heritage, and artistry of African Americans while bringing awareness to community health disparities and other social issues.
During the golf classic, civic, business, faith leaders, and the community at large join in to play a round of golf with organizations who help reduce health disparities or participate in other community social causes.
Proceeds from the 2nd Annual Juneteenth Jubilee Golf Classic help us to not only operationalize the Juneteenth events, but also undergird and subsidize other ATC Festival cultural events which highlight local artists throughout the year, most of whom are African American and from our community.
