The name Juneteenth is a contraction of June 18th and 19th, which were the dates in 1865 that the last slaves in Galveston, Texas found out that the Civil War was over and they had been freed. Celebrations all over the nation commemorate African American freedom and celebrate education and achievement.

Juneteenth is an event and fundraiser for and by the Youth Council of the MRF NAACP. Co-Sponsored by the Montgomery County-Radford City-Floyd County branches of the NAACP.

Admission is free and all are welcome.
