2023 Spartanburg Juneteenth Celebration
Spartanburg Juneteenth, Inc. Presents
The Annual Juneteenth Experience
- June 11th, 4:00 pm - The Official Juneteenth Revival
- June 14, 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm - The Official Juneteenth Race Seminar
Join us again at Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church where we will discuss Heather McGee’s book entitled “The Sum of Us: What Racism Cost Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together”. The Chicago Tribune is quoted saying “Every so often a book has come along that has the potential to radically shift our cultural conversation. (The Sum of Us) is one of those books.” Heather McGee’s specialty is the American Economy – and the mystery of how it so often fails the American public. This event is free and includes a free copy of the book and dinner courtesy of Smokin Wings & Things – Westgate Mall. Bring the entire family as we dig deep into the conversation of why living apart negatively impacts all of us.
