This will be the sixth annual Justice 4 All Juneteenth Jam thrown for the city of Grand Rapids. This event is a celebration of Black American culture, and pays homage to Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, Jubilee Day, Liberation Day, and Emancipation Day. This holiday celebrates the emancipation of the Black Americans citizens who had been enslaved in the United States of America. Dating back to 1865, it was on June 19th that the Union soldiers, led by Major General Gordon Granger, landed at Galveston, Texas with news that the Civil war had ended and that the enslaved were now free.The Justice 4 All Juneteenth Jam is a direct result of our mission to challenge, and disrupt America's post racial fallacy by stimulating constructive, actionable, and necessary dialog through community engagement.
