The Salinas Juneteenth Celebration Association's mission is to host Black and African culturally-centered events in the Salinas Valley. Our purpose is to ensure the visibility and preservation of our city's Black and African American community members and their cultural contributions to Salinas' local history. By celebrating and honoring a rich past while remaining conscious of current, ongoing struggles, we promote the resiliency of Black and African American legacies, both locally and globally.
