NAACP marks Juneteenth with renovation of downtown headquarters
The Memphis chapter of the NAACP marked Juneteenth with a groundbreaking and renovation of its downtown headquarters.
As Memphis and the nation observe a federal holiday commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans, several service organizations united to celebrate Juneteenth with a turn of a shovel.
The groundbreaking symbolized the renovation of the historic NAACP headquarters on Vance Avenue and its commitment to save the lives of young mothers and their children.
