150th Juneteenth Anniversary Celebration Financial Freedom Fair Presented by Rich Dad Education
May 4, 2015
Juneteenth commemorates when the slaves in Texas finally got word of the Emancipation Proclamation issued by President Lincoln. General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston on June 19, 1865 to deliver the message of freedom. The historical significance affects not only African Americans in Texas, but also the many others who have stood with us for racial equality nationally and around the world. Juneteenth is a multi-cultural experience that touches the lives of a diverse audience.
The vision is for Juneteenth to be a time of education, self-improvement, thanksgiving and of course fun festivities. The theme is “None of us are free until we’re all free.” We want people to be empowered to get freedom in their finances with the knowledge gained at the event.
