JUNETEENTH CELEBRATION OF FREEDOM ON FOR SATURDAY

Juneteenth 2016: A celebration of Freedom @ Washington Park | Brownsville | Texas | United States



You are cordially invited to the Brownsville Juneteenth: A Celebration of Freedom event on Saturday, June 18th.

We are inviting RGV residents and organizations to come celebrate and share information with the community. We will help each other out by learning history from different perspectives and by sharing information about our different causes.

Juneteenth commemorates the emancipation of slaves in the state of Texas and throughout the Confederate South on June 19, 1865 – more than 2 years after the Emancipation Proclamation.

This celebration is not sponsored by any corporations. We are residents gathering together to celebrate freedom. History of Juneteenth: http://www.juneteenth.com/history.htm

If your organization would like to set up a table, please contact us and we’ll add you to the list.

We highly encourage you to also bring food to share (potluck). If you are musically inclined or belong to a dance group, feel free to treat us with your music or dance skills. If enough performers promise to show up, we can set up specific times for their performances.

Mexicans in this country enjoy their freedoms thanks to the Civil Rights fight waged by Blacks, who suffered tremendously. Mexicans were not hosed, whipped, dogged or lynched during the Sixties. When they were beaten and pistol whipped by Anglos in South Texas, they gained NOTHING.

Uh oh.... Are people doing it all wrong in Brownsville again? Don't tell me the rock haters are coming out again? They know Juneteenth is going to be celebrated on Sunday -- same day as Father's Day but Nooooo... they rather draw people coming from Market Days at nearby Mittie Cultural Park and the most awesome event of tomorrow - The Car Show at Historic Brownsville Museum parking lot. What does the hypocrite atheist rock hater say about this? They are respecting people's observance of Sunday as a day of rest. Haha gtfo with that sh*t This is being done on a Saturday because no one would come out on a Sunday for this. The rock hater morons are opportunists and so are you for latching on to anything that brings discord in our community Mr Montoya.

Pot luck? I'll smoke them out. That would be lucky for them - in their dreams.

Again, programs being held in the city are poorly coordinated and poorly planned. Having a celebration of freedom is great....but on Father's Day; and a day with other events to split public attention. Poor planning;...as said in the military, "poor planning means piss poor performance". Sad not to give freedom the attention it deserves.

KBRO up to his usual "public diarrhea deposit" trick again? Get back to your silly historical shit, you sniveling Aztec-nose dickhead. And call your mother ASAP; she needs a bowl of menudo equally-ASAP, mugroso.

Black people wish this asswipe would step drawing attention to their color. They just want to live here in peace; invisible I'd that's what it takes.

Mexicans do the work that lazy negros won't do. Sounds like a dangerous event. Violence guaranteed. I bet gunfire will break out. Expect heavy police in riot gear. Oh, one other thing, FUCK all muslims.

Your readership increases whenever I leave a comment. No need to thank me Juan.

My parents taught me to respect all races and treat them equally: krauts, chinks, heebs, niggers, wetbacks, greasers.

I love the fact that this rock drives the libtards crazy! It is so easy to get them all riled up.. Nothing but cry babies when they don't get their way.

let the rock haters and the rock worshipers duke it out at washington park. worshipers can bring their civil war lances, muskets, etc., while the haters can bring iron from the hood.

the rusty rockettes will cheerlead on the sidelines with a dance routine to the tune of rocky racoon. rude rummies will throw rocks at the revelers. kbro, please wear your station's call letters on your back for easy identification.

just drove by. They had maybe 20 people show up at most. Of course they will say it was 120.

This is a gathering of haters. They hate Anglos, successful people in general and Confederates. These people live in the past nursing old grudges and tilting at windmills or rocks in this case.

There is no way I would eat stuff at a community potluck. Somebody just might bring a rat poison pie. Not telling what will show up on the hate table.

The more these guys plan things and make it into the news, the more Brownsville looks like a racist, backwards, and corrupt city. Keep it up, young bloods!

You got corrupt and backwards part right jackass. Guess you missed the fact that browntown is 95% mexican and 100% run by Mexicans. All the gringos worth a shit left 20 years ago.
