Juneteenth Celebration

Join The Argyros, Wood River Community YMCA, I Have A Dream Foundation, College of Idaho, and the US Attorney’s Office, District of ID, to learn about and celebrate Juneteenth.

Juneteenth, which has been informally observed as a holiday for over a hundred years, marks the emancipation of African Americans from slavery on June 19th, 1865. In 2021, after decades of grassroots lobbying, it was recognized as an official federal holiday. Join us for an evening to recognize the ongoing American project of racial diversity and justice, and to consider how we may continue to strive for a more perfect union.

Featured speakers includes Latonia Haney Keith (VP of High Impact Practices, College of Idaho), Kaya Evans (2021 Rhodes Scholar), Angela Taylor (The Dignitas Agency, formerly WNBA), and Josh Hurwit (US Attorney, District of Idaho).

This event is free, registration is required. We hope to see you there.
