Juneteenth Coalition, a nonprofit, will be kicking off their “The Juneteenth Journey” - a series of events celebrating the anniversary of the end of slavery in the United States. "The goal is community solidarity, community oneness," said Terrell Maddox, chief visionary officer for Juneteenth Coalition.For its first event, the newly formed nonprofit will host the Juneteenth Journey. It's a series of seven events in five days honoring Juneteenth. Juneteenth celebrates the freedom of slaves in Texas, two and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation outlawing slavery. The coalition was motivated to do the series of events following the death of George Floyd in police custody and other violent police events. The coalition wants people to be able to step into history during their series of events. "Making sure people are aware of the ancestors that sacrificed to get us here and that we are not done fighting. We are going to continue to fight," said Sean Carr, Juneteenth Coalition head of finance and business operations. The events start Wednesday, wrapping up with a formal cotillion on Sunday. The coalition said the most impactful event is the Anguish of the Elders, where people will fast for 12 hours while participating in 246 minutes of work to commemorate 246 years of slavery in the U.S."That way, we can try to envoke that empathy, and people can feel it. Not only in their minds but in their stomachs and in their muscles," Maddox said.The schedule of events for Juneteenth Journey is as follows:Wednesday, June 16, 20216:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. PSTPremiere: An Evening of Black Excellence in the ArtsUnderstanding: Showcase of Artists in the “Apollo Theater” StyleForest Theater (Outdoors), Guadalupe Street, Carmel, CA 93923Ticket price: $25 suggested donationThursday, June 17, 202112:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. PSTNew Journey DriveUplift: Car Rally to change the narrative of Black driversMonterey Touring Vehicles, 2228 Del Monte Ave., Monterey, CA 93940Ticket price: $250 for driver and first passenger; $50 for additional passengersFriday, June 18, 20211:30 p.m. - 6:10 p.m. PSTAnguish of the EldersEmpathize: Fasting from sunup to sundown and performing 246 minutes of fieldwork for 246 years of enslavementSerendipity Farms, 9130 Carmel Valley Road, Carmel, CA 93923Ticket price: $25 suggested donation - price includes admission to Scatter FeastFriday, June 18, 2021 - Two events at same location6:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. PSTScatter FeastEmpathize: Using the parable of the Long Spoon serving others so we can all be fed with aSouthern Soul Food focused menuSerendipity Farms, 26500 Val Verde Drive, Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA 93923Ticket price: $50Saturday, June 19, 2021Juneteenth Jubilee1:00 p.m. PSTUplift: Free Community Celebration of JuneteenthLaguna Grande Park, 401 Virgin Ave., Monterey, CA 93940Ticket Price: Free to AllSunday, June 20, 202110:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. PSTBlack Drives Matter at The Hay, Pebble BeachEmpower: Inclusivity of golf as an exclusive sport in an elite locationThe Hay Golf Course, 1700 17 Mile Drive, Pebble Beach, CA 93953Ticket price: $45 Single Golfer, $90 Two Person TeamSunday, June 20, 2021 - Two events at two different locations6:00 PM - 9:00 PM PSTGrandeur NoirEmpower: Everyone is celebrated and we all rise!Pearl Hour, 214 Lighthouse Ave., Monterey, CA 93940Ticket price: $150 per personRegistration is now available, click here. The coalition said each event stands on the pillars of Juneteenth. Which they said are: understand, empathize, uplift and empower. "Our idea is if we pull those things together and weave them through our community, then the community can be uplifted as a whole and not just piece together," Maddox said.
