❤️💚🖤 Happy Juneteenth ❤️💚🖤

On June 19, 1865, federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, to declare the end of the Civil War and the liberation of approximately 250,000 enslaved individuals in Texas. This momentous occasion occurred two years after President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation.

Memphis Leadership Foundation commemorates the emancipation of ALL enslaved individuals in the U.S. We encourage everyone to reflect on history and promote unity and equality.

Looking for ways to celebrate Juneteenth? Choose901 has put together a great list of events happening all over the city.

Our CEO Anthony Branch and Director of Development Tiffany Mansfield Crumpton were honored to attend the ribbon tying for Heights Line Memphis this afternoon. What an amazing outpouring of community support for Heights CDC and the first phase of the Heights Line.

The Heights Line connects the heights community along national to the green line. It is a beautiful showing of unity in our city.

What better way to demonstrate that unity than with a ribbon tying!

Shout out to the Treadwell Middle School Marching Band for leading the way up the Heights Line!
