The Annual Juneteenth Experience

Join us again at Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church where we will discuss Heather McGee’s book entitled “The Sum of Us: What Racism Cost Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together”. The Chicago Tribune is quoted saying “Every so often a book has come along that has the potential to radically shift our cultural conversation. (The Sum of Us) is one of those books.” Heather McGee’s specialty is the American Economy – and the mystery of how it so often fails the American public. This event is free and includes a free copy of the book and dinner courtesy of Smokin Wings & Things – Westgate Mall. Bring the entire family as we dig deep into the conversation of why living apart negatively impacts all of us.

Join us for an unforgettable evening at the Spartanburg Juneteenth BEC Gala, where we celebrate the spirit of Juneteenth while supporting and empowering the small businesses and non-profit organizations that help make our community thrive.
