DBMG Attends Brentwood's Inaugural Juneteenth Celebration

Brentwood Mayor Joel Bryant stopped by the booth to meet DBMG members Horace Gipson, Alain Dangerfield, Andre Darby and Michael Carroll to learn more about the organization.

On Wednesday, June 19, 2024, Diablo Black Men's Group had the honor of attending Brentwood’s inaugural Juneteenth celebration at City Park. This momentous event brought the community together to commemorate the emancipation of enslaved African Americans and to celebrate the rich heritage and contributions of the African American community.

Hosted by the charismatic Kevin "Cuz Kev" Brown, the event was a vibrant gathering filled with live performances, delicious food trucks, craft vendors, and activities for all ages. The highlight of the evening was a powerful performance by legendary musician Lenny Williams, which filled the park with soulful energy.

In our booth, DBMG members had the pleasure of sharing information about our organization’s mission and upcoming initiatives, including our College Scholarship Program and the much-anticipated 26th Annual Christmas Gala in December. The celebration was a perfect opportunity for us to connect with the community, share our vision, and spread awareness of our work.

A special moment captured in the event’s feature photo shows some of our DBMG members standing alongside Brentwood’s Mayor Joel Bryant, symbolizing the unity and collaboration that made the day so meaningful.

We are deeply grateful for the opportunity to participate in Brentwood’s first Juneteenth celebration and look forward to attending future events as we continue our mission of education, empowerment, and community support.
