Theme: “Bridging A Connection”
The 4th Annual Durham Juneteenth Celebration & Unity March will be held on Saturday, June 14, 2008 on Fayetteville Street at Hayti Heritage Center in Durham from 12pm – 6 pm. This fun filled, educational and uplifting day begins at 11:00 am, with a March from NCCU. Men will march with children (biological or not), church and school groups, athletic associations, etc. – any and all youth, boys and girls. The Unity March affords men an opportunity to connect with the youth – allowing them the chance to forge a relationship that carries on after this event. Women organizations are asked dispense water and nutritional treats during March. The 4th Annual Durham Juneteenth Celebration will include entertainment throughout the day; food and merchandise vendors; health screenings; informative seminars; and free hotdogs, drinks, popcorn, cotton candy, t-shirts and activities for the children provided by Project Safe Neighborhood. Non-profit organizations and service agencies will have booths to distribute information.
