MISSION

The mission of Juneteenth is to provide local festivities in celebration of a day in American history when the emancipation of enslaved people was ultimately announced. It is the objective of the Manhattan Juneteenth Committee, in the planning and execution of this annual event, to promote community cohesion through the gathering of all people in one municipal locality. This includes local businesses, organizations, law enforcement, and the like, with the hope of unifying and educating our great community.
