Our Juneteenth Flash Mob is one of several activities hosted in June by the Phyllis Wheatley Rise to Read Campaign as part of an overall Juneteenth Literacy Festival. Juneteenth is a holiday celebrating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. It is celebrated annually throughout the nation on June 19 and recognizes when the last remaining enslaved people in the Confederacy learned of their freedom. Through their strength and example, Phyllis Wheatley Rise to Read Campaign has made it the organization’s mission to boldly take strides to make sure that our African youth receive the necessary literacy skills that will allow them to succeed and continue the legacy set by those before us.
The Phyllis Wheatley Rise to Read Campaign’s 2024 Juneteenth Literacy Festival and its activities are being sponsored by St. Petersburg Police Department, Pinellas Education Foundation, Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office, Pinellas County Schools, Duke Energy, the City of St. Petersburg, Habitat for Humanity of Pinellas & West Pasco Counties, Foundation for a Healthy St. Petersburg, Helios Education Foundation, the Tampa Bay Rays, Lawson Funeral Home and Smith Funeral Home.
