DBMG Participates in Livermore’s 3rd Annual Juneteenth Celebration

On Saturday, June 15, 2024, Diablo Black Men's Group proudly participated in Livermore’s 3rd Annual Juneteenth Celebration, hosted at the vibrant Bankhead Plaza. The event commemorated the liberation of enslaved people in Texas, marking two years after the Emancipation Proclamation ended slavery in the Confederate States.

Organized by Tri-Valley for Black Lives, Livermore Valley Arts, and Las Positas College, the celebration brought together a rich array of cultural expressions, including music, drumming, dancing, and performances from talented local groups. The festival also featured food vendors, local businesses selling unique products, and several non-profit organizations providing community resources.

At our booth, DBMG members and their families proudly shared information about our organization’s initiatives. We promoted our College Scholarship Program, designed to support young Black men pursuing higher education, and provided details about our upcoming 26th Annual Christmas Gala, set for December. The gala promises an evening filled with dinner, live music, auctions, and dancing, all to support our scholarship fund and further community engagement.


We were grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this important celebration, and we look forward to continuing our participation in future Juneteenth events in collaboration with the City of Livermore. These gatherings are a meaningful way for us to engage with the community and spread awareness about our mission.
