Juneteenth T-Shirt Fundraiser Relaunch

In light of the current state of America, we are deciding to sell Juneteenth Shirts (scroll down for purchasing link, presale info, and pictures of the shirt) Proceeds from this second batch of shirts sold from June 22, 2020 until we run out will go toward helping to fund future RS events and initiatives! (previous shirt funds were donated entirely to the Jefferson County Memorial Project and their research efforts for lynching victims in Birmingham, Alabama)

Why?

We are in a time where Black men and women are being targeted, arrested, and murdered based on skin color. This is not a new discovery. Last year we hosted a Juneteenth Festival to promote fellowship amongst the black community and allies and to spread the knowledge of the history of Juneteenth. Due to coronavirus, we were unable to have a festival this year but that should not stop the celebration or the spread of awareness and history of Juneteenth.

What is Juneteenth?

The oldest nationally commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. Juneteenth, also known as the Juneteenth Independence or Freedom Day, is an American holiday that commemorates the June 19, 1865, announcement of the abolishment of slavery in the U.S. state of Texas, and more generally the emancipation of enslaved African-Americans throughout the former Confederacy of the southern United States.
