Celebrating Juneteenth in Leimert Park: Honoring Heritage and Community
LOS ANGELES - Californer -- The Leimert Park Village Merchants Association will host a grand celebration of Juneteenth, themed "Black Family Reunion." Queen Amina President of the Association states, "This event is a pivotal moment to honor our history, celebrate our vibrant culture, and pay homage to our ancestors, underscoring the significance of Juneteenth in Leimert Park".
Juneteenth marks the emancipation of the last enslaved African Americans in the United States and symbolizes freedom and resilience. This celebration takes on even greater importance in Leimert Park, a cultural and historical hub for the Black community. It is a day to reflect on our journey, recognize our achievements, and unite as a community to envision a brighter future.
Nationally recognized speaker Rizza Islam will deliver a compelling address on "Why We Must Celebrate Juneteenth," highlighting the historical and contemporary relevance. His words are set to inspire and remind us of the ongoing struggle for equality and the enduring spirit of our people.
