The HBCU Campaign Fund (HCF) commends the Mosaic Templars Cultural Center as it prepares to host the 17th Annual Juneteenth in Da Rock celebration, a longstanding tradition that continues to honor history and contributions of African Americans while fostering unity and progress throughout the state of Arkansas.
HCF particularly applauds the launch of the inaugural Juneteenth in Da Rock Summit, an important addition to this year’s celebration that focuses on economic mobility, workforce development, and community advancement. These priorities align with the ongoing efforts of organizations, institutions, and community leaders working to create pathways to opportunity, strengthen local economies, and empower individuals and families for future success.
HCF is honored to participate in the Juneteenth in Da Rock 5K for the third consecutive year. The annual event has become a meaningful opportunity for HCF to engage with the community, promote health and wellness, and celebrate the spirit of Juneteenth alongside fellow participants, supporters, and partners.
HCF also extends its sincere appreciation to the University of Arkansas at Little Rock Bowen School of Law and Mitchell Williams Law Firm for their generous sponsorship and support of the organization’s participation in this year’s 5K.
“As we celebrate Juneteenth, we are reminded that freedom is not only reflection of our history, but a call to action for the future. We commend the Mosaic Templars Cultural Center for continuing to create meaningful spaces that educate, inspire, and empower communities while advancing conversations that lead to economic growth, workforce readiness, and community development.”
— Demetrius Johnson, Jr., Founder, President & CEO, HCF
HCF looks forward to joining community members, partners, and supporters in celebrating this important occasion and wishes the Mosaic Templars Cultural Center continued success as it host another impactful Juneteenth in Da Rock celebration.
