Dear Faith, Community Leaders, Groups, Organizations,
Juneteenth is such an important day in our country's history. It marks the end of slavery in Confederate states and commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans.
I think it's crucial to reflect on the struggles and triumphs that have shaped our nation and honor the resilience of those who fought for liberation. We still have a journey towards equality and justice, but Juneteenth is a time to celebrate our progress and come together to create a future where everyone is treated fairly and equally.
We are overjoyed to share that our organization has received an exclusive invitation, from the esteemed former Mayor Sylvester Turner of Houston, TX, to creatively direct and spearhead the annual Juneteenth parade in the vibrant Acres Homes area. This invitation fills us with gratitude and a deep sense of responsibility to enhance this important event!
It is the 16th Annual Juneteenth Parade—Acres Home and Jubilee Festival Celebration. Our Theme: Freedom cannot be taken for granted, but Nurtured, Preserved, and Protected. I just wanted to share some information about the upcoming Juneteenth Parade Acres Home Festival and Celebration. It's an annual event where churches and congregations come together to celebrate Juneteenth by selecting a block along the parade route.
This year, the event will take place on June 15, 2024, at 10 am and will commence at the Acres Home Multi-Purpose Center located at 6719 West Montgomery Road, Houston, TX 77091. We will march through the lively streets, symbolizing unity and progress, and the parade route will culminate at the iconic Greater Zion Missionary Church
in Houston, TX 77088. Your support and participation are greatly appreciated in upholding the essence of Juneteenth.
Can we count on you to make this event a resounding success? Thank you, Janice Weaver, Adopt the Block Coordinator Teresa Brewer, BHS President Black Heritage Society dba Martin Luther King Jr. Parade Foundation Inc. 501 © 3 400 Sam Houston Parkway E Suite 210 Houston, Texas 77060 http://www.
