We were happy to celebrate Juneteenth with so many people

Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate Juneteenth with us at the YMCA Hollingsworth Outdoor Recreation Center in Simpsonville on Friday, June 22, 2012. More than 100 individuals, families, and church groups came to learn about local history and to celebrate the Emancipation.

And thank you to 107.3 JAMZ for coming out and spending the morning with us.

We look forward to celebrating Juneteenth again next year.
