A PICTURE FROM JUNETEENTH UNITY DAY 2007, THE ROANOKE SCLC'S FIRST JUNETEENTH CELEBRATION
JUNETEENTH '08
The first "JUNETEENTH UNITY DAY PARADE AND CELEBRATION" was held in June, 2007. This event was a huge success. To see those who participated in "JUNETEENTH UNITY DAY, 2007" and to see pictures of "JUNETEENTH UNITY DAY, 2007," please click on "JUNETEENTH '07" link posted above.
As part of the Roanoke SCLC's gang prevention program, "JUNETEENTH '08" was even bigger and even better. As last year, this event was free to the public. "JUNETEENTH '08" was a wonderful day of unity, brotherhood, good food and good entertainment.
I look forward to seeing you at "JUNETEENTH '09", June 13, 2009 at Washington Park in Roanoke, Va. beginning at 12 Noon. Roanoke, Va.'s largest, most successful and longest running Juneteenth Celebration.
Take care, Jeff Artis, President Emeritus The Roanoke SCLC
