WCAR Celebrates Juneteenth

The Wallace Center welcomed some 70 persons for fellowship, games and music on June 15, 2024. It was our second Juneteenth for Wallace descendants in Harpersville. Juneteenth commemorates June 18, 1865 when a union general arrived to enforce the Emancipation Proclamation in Texas, months after the Civil War. The holiday commemorates the end of slavery in the United States.
