Juneteenth Family Fun Day, Honoree Recognition and Emancipation March

The Reedy Chapel AME Church hosts the island's historic tradition of Juneteenth celebrations as newly freed slaves marched from the Galveston County Courthouse to this church in 1865. At 3 p.m., civil rights attorney Ben Crump and the family of Henrietta Lacks will be recognized for their legal victory in recognizing Lacks' contribution to cancer research. The event ends with the Emancipation March.
