Juneteenth and Beyond African American Van Tours

Start from the Old Central Cultural Center. Head to Middle Passage Marker at 21st and Haroborside. The symbol of the beginning of slavery in the new world

We will see the Absolute Equality Mural on the way to Nia Cultural Center, the only African American art gallery on The Strand. Also on the strand is the Juneteenth marker that marks where executive order #3 was read and all slaves in Texas were freed

One of the locations where General Order #3 was read on June 19, 1865 which declared emancipation in Texas from slavery.

See the statue of Al Edwards, the legislature who helped get Juneteenth a state holiday in 1979. Also see the And Still We Rise Exhibit
