Our Story

Juneteenth, Inc. was founded in 2020 by Shymeka Kerr-Gregory and Cherena Douglass to continue the Juneteenth Celebration in Springfield by expanding its efforts to eliminate racism through the education and celebration of Juneteenth. To accomplish the goal of eliminating racism, Juneteenth Inc. calls on the support of the community and civic leaders to recognize the past, realize our future, and reimagine the present.
