Stop by GOFM’s Juneteenth coloring station and add some color to an iconic Galveston-originated holiday!
As quoted from Outdoor Afro, a non-profit organization that reconnects Black people to their lands, water, and wildlife: “Media created a false narrative of what Juneteenth is by painting it as a “celebration” to the end of slavery in the United States. In reality, it is the date 250,000 enslaved Black Americans in Galveston, Texas, were told they were free on June 19, 1865 – 2.5 years after the Emancipation Proclamation (signed Jan. 1, 1863) went into effect. To honor this day, we encourage our community, partners, and regional networks to spend time in nature (whether a nearby beach, swimming pool, or public park for example).”
We invite you to join us to reflect on & commemorate freedom, and ask yourself: ‘What does freedom mean to me?’

The City of Galveston is developing a Safety Action Plan to improve safety on Galveston streets. The purpose of the Safety Action Plan is to identify infrastructure projects, policy changes, and develop strategies to eliminate or significantly reduce fatal and serious injury crashes. This project is made possible with funding from a USDOT Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Grant. The study includes three phases: network screening, safety and equity analyses, and an implementation plan. Throughout the process, community engagement and input is key to develop a Safety Action Plan uniquely suited for Galveston.
Find out more on their website for further opportunity to provide input and learn about the project: engagekh.com/Galveston-Safe-Streets
