In 1870 Black, White and Native folk in Pittsburgh marched to celebrate the end of Chattel Slavery and the beginning of Black Voting Rights in the United States... This original Parade was called the Grand Jubilee of Freemen Parade where over 5,000 people marched from Downtown, to the lower Hill, back Downtown to the North and held a memorial at Allegheny Commons Park East, and then back downtown to Market Square... On SAT JUNE 20TH, starting at 11am, we will host the Juneteenth-Grand Jubilee Parade in honor of the End of Chattel Slavery and Black Voting Rights which are under attack in America, from Freedom Corner through Downtown Pittsburgh on to Point State Park where we will host a ceremony highlighting our new enslavement in this American system... We need you to line the Streets and Join Us inside Point State Park... Spread the Word and SAVE THE DATE...
