An annual celebration on June 19th, celebrating the same day in 1865 when a group of enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas learned of their freedom, almost two and a half years after Abraham Lincoln had signed the Emancipation Proclamation. Each year, RCODE remembers June 19th, 1865 with speakers, music, food, exhibitors, and the announcement of the Rondo Achievement Awards. Join us to celebrate African American heritage and culture.
