Since the news of freedom of the slaves arrived in Texas 2 ½ years after other slaves were freed, the Corpus Christi Juneteenth Coalition organized the “Ten Days of Celebration of Emancipation” (June 9 – June 19)”.
Respectfully,

The event will be held on Saturday, June 21, 2014 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Solomon Coles Recreation Center and Solomon Coles school.
This year's breakout sessions will concentrate on Leadership, Education and Healthy Living. The Leadership sessions will focus on Accountability, Consequences, Job Skills and Respect for Authority. The Education sessions will focus on STAARS, higher education, the importance of assessment tests, cyber bullying, professional attire, and much, much more. Grooming, visible branding (aka tattoos/piercings), sagging pants, the meaning of family are just a few of the topics which will be covered in the Healthy Living sessions.
