Juneteenth

Juneteenth is the U.S. Federal Holiday celebrating the end of slavery. We at E3 want to take this day to: Remember the people, the depth of the work needed, and to CELEBRATE all that we have accomplished. Our Juneteenth event is to emphasize the 3 E's that is our name, mission, and goal.

Our Juneteenth event will:

Educate our community by sharing the film from our Better Together Series "Who We Are".
Elevate our community by celebrating freedom!
Engage our community by speaking, listening, offering, accepting, and connecting with each of you.

Juneteenth will be celebrated by E3 on June 19th, 2025

We would like to welcome our special guest speaker Byron Brooks. We will also be delighted to have guest performers Crystal Woodward-Turner and Chris Stone.

The event will run from 3pm through 9:30pm.
