The Davidson County Branch NAACP Education Committee is striving to improve and increase our county residents’ awareness of the importance of celebrating Juneteenth. We are hoping that by co-sponsoring this Essay Contest, students and adults will be engaged and encouraged to talk to their teachers, parents and friends in an effort to learn more about the origin and significance of this celebration as it relates to Freedom and the hope of enjoying all the rights and privileges as an American citizen for people of color.
