About the Event
“It’s a new dawn. It’s a new day and I am feeling good.”
– Lyrics from I am Feeling Good sung by Nina Simone
Enjoy music across the diaspora, soulful cuisine, a live auction and dance the night away with old and new friends.
This annual gala celebrates the joy and triumph that enslaved African Americans in Texas felt on June 19, 1865 when they received word of their freedom. The news of freedom arrived two years late, nevertheless, there was jubilation and a new dawn and a new day had begun.
Join us in celebrating freedom with joy and exultation.
