At the heart of our mission is the commitment to keeping alive the relevant culture and history of African Americans. Through educational programs and community engagement, we aim to foster a deep understanding of our shared heritage and promote unity within Pender County.
Founded in 2023, The 1865 Society of Pender County commemorates the historical significance of Juneteenth through events and initiatives that celebrate African American heritage and promote unity within the community.
Juneteenth holds profound historical significance—it marks the emancipation of enslaved African Americans in the United States. By commemorating Juneteenth, we honor the resilience, courage, and contributions of our ancestors while building bridges to a more united future.
