On Tuesday, June 19, 2018 at 7:00 PM they will gather with over 1,800 community and national leaders at the historic Riverside Church in Harlem where Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., preached his famous anti-Vietnam War sermon, “Beyond Vietnam,” in 1967.

This Juneteenth celebration gathers their community to reflect on “The Fierce Urgency for Justice Now” for all of God’s children and five distinguished honorees who embody this year’s theme. In the spirit of the first Juneteenth celebrations in Texas in 1865, their celebration includes music, dance and of course a message challenging them to continue their efforts to become “a more perfect Union”.
