The City of Brownsville has not had a Juneteenth Celebration since 2003. It's no wonder why the city has been slow to act on the relocation of the Jefferson Davis Monument. http://www.valleymorningstar.com/community/article_f95b5fcc-1a1d-5e2a-9e12-52e2dd701dc6.html We would like to change this. You are invited to come and join on us on Saturday, June 18, at 11:30 a.m. at Washington Park. The 19th falls on a Sunday. We hope that people will continue celebrating with their families at their place of worship. Several Civil Rights organizations will be present. It will be a community potluck, so please feel free to bring something to share!
