Our theme this year is “Let There be Peace on Earth.” Founded in 1909 as the NAACP, we continue to work to promote equality and bring attention to the importance of eliminating systematic racism and discrimination, in communities across the United States. This event will be one of our major fundraising events of the year. The proceeds will benefit activities in our community to ensure political, educational, social, religious and economic equality for all and eliminate race-based discrimination.

Through events such as the NAACP Multi-Cultural Holiday Celebration and Silent Auction and with the continued support from our local community and friends we can work to further achieve our goals. “We can change the world from San Luis Obispo County.” On behalf of NAACP San Luis Obispo County Branch, we would like to thank you in advance for your donation and support and wish you love and blessings through the holiday season and much success in 2023.

Join us as we celebrate diversity! Sincerely, Stephen Vines, President

Juneteenth History
Thank you for joining NAACP San Luis Obispo County Branch for our Juneteenth Celebration. We’re so glad you’re here! This year’s theme is to be announced.
We are continuing the long history of Juneteenth celebrations dating back to June 19, 1865, when Union Major General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, to deliver a formal announcement memorialized as General Order 3, to ensure all enslaved people were freed—even though the Emancipation Proclamation had taken effect two and a half years earlier. Once federal troops arrived to take control of the state and uphold the end of slavery (which had largely continued in Texas until that time), newly freed slaves took to the streets to celebrate. Since that first date, the annual tradition of Juneteenth has continued, and it has become a recognized state holiday in most states.
In years like 2022, when the lingering remnants of racial injustice are actively being challenged, it’s important to look at the long history of fighting discrimination. Juneteenth is a day to memorialize the long history of struggles, celebrate the successes that have been achieved so far, and look forward to a day when justice is reached. Education and hope for a brighter future have always been central to Juneteenth celebrations. NAACP SLO County has collected stories and inspiration to support compassion, justice and diversity here in our own community.
