From the “Heart of Dixie” California may begin to align our Title 5 US Juneteenth Holiday

Preparations for 2026 Juneteenth Annual Meetings, Tours, Miss National Juneteenth Scholarship Program and Gala Celebration in Birmingham, Alabama continue in the midst of National and Global turmoil.

Our hopes and fears are heightened yet a few key supports are making a way where their was nine.

We hope to gain wisdom and strategic methodology to align our Title 5 US Federal Holiday throughout the State of California.

If the “Heart of Dixie” initial Capitol of the Confederate States of America can find a way to officially celebrate Juneteenth, why not California?

Our 2026 Juneteenth California State Capitol Celebration will continue our proud "California Grown" tradition and feature our authentic "California Journey From Slavery to Freedom" while expanding our month long effort to showcase statewide public and private events expanding "California Pan African Global Trade and Commerce.”

Throughout our Great State of California, the 4th largest economy globally, we must continue to encourage both public municipalities and private multi-National Corporations to align with our newest Title 5, US Federal Juneteenth Holiday,

Friday, June 19, 2026, we begin building mutually beneficial relationships year round after sitting at the feet of seasoned US Civil Rights legends and walking US Civil War battlefields.

Together, we will prepare for a very special 2026 Juneteenth California season showcasing our unique California Journey From Slavery to Freedom, to include recognition of 1,918 USCT as documented at the African American Civil War Museum.

From sea to shining sea and beyond, our long and arduous journey towards freedom continues.

An official paid State of California Juneteenth Holiday aligned with our Title 5 US Juneteenth Federal Holiday will one day be a priority for California political leadership.

We give thanks for a full year expression of the 175th year of California Statehood, 1850 Compromise over Chattel Slavery and Fugitive Slave Laws as expressed throughout California.

Juneteenth, is our global milestone at the close of our U.S. Civil War. Join us for a special “California State Capitol Juneteenth Block Party" for all Californias to pause and discover our unique journey towards freedom as we reconnect with our extended global Pan African family both at home and abroad here in “Sweet Home Alabama.”
