In June, 2005,
JUNETEENTH.com launched an historic
advocacy campaign to recognize and raise awareness for
the 150th Anniversary of Juneteenth that will be
celebrated in the year 2015. The campaign aims to increase knowledge and appreciation
of the roles, achievements and contributions of African
Americans to our society, and pay tribute to an
ancestral heritage upon whose shoulders many stand.
The
campaign, centers around assessment, goals, education, dialogue,
responsibility, acknowledgement
- and celebrates
African American progress since 1865. Campaign Outputs
in print will include; booklets, brochures, posters and the most highly
anticipated, 150th Juneteenth Anniversary Year Book©.
Digital
outputs will include an electronic informational
campaign, multimedia products
including, audio/video cd's and dvd's, along with a comprehensive Web based
presentation hub.
People of
all races, creeds and ethnicities have contributed to the
price of freedom, and with the greatest honor, this
campaign acknowledges these contributions. We invite and
encourage everyone to join with us in the planning,
development and celebration of this historic campaign.
Ideas and support continue to flow in and are
instrumental in shaping the campaign and the 150th
Anniversary Celebration.
