Legacy of Freedom at Pierce Chapel: Juneteenth Commemoration

Join us at the Legacy of Freedom at Pierce Chapel — a Juneteenth Commemoration that stands as a living tribute to the incredible stories of one of the oldest African American communities whose lives, journey and resilience shaped the cultural fabric of West Georgia and beyond.

This commemoration is more than a celebration- it's an act of honoring this rich history through storytelling, visual and performing arts, historical interpretation, and community engagement. Together, we remember, we celebrate, and we commit to passing on a legacy to inspire generations to come.
