To all that sponsored, donated, volunteered, planned, hosted and attended the 2023 Juneteenth Celebration, Thank you!!!. All of you helped make this a great celebration.

The Lawrence Juneteenth Organization believes in a world where all people are treated equal.

Black Lives Matter. As Black Americans, we have a rich history in Lawrence and we would like to share that with everyone.

On June 17, 2023, at 12:00pm, we invite you to join us in celebration of our rich African American heritage. It will be a joyful, uplifting time as we journey through the history of our lives and the impact we have made in America and our very own Douglas County. All are invited to attend.
