Join Us for Juneteenth at Red Hill

Celebrate freedom, history, and community at Red Hill on Saturday, June 28, at 11:00 am! As we honor the emancipation of enslaved African Americans, the 7056 Charlotte County Branch of the Virginia NAACP invites you to reflect on the legacy of freedom. Enjoy a day of remembrance, music, and fellowship in a historic setting that connects our past to the promise of a more just future. Food will be available for purchase from two vendors.
