On June 19, the African American Council of Churches (AACC) organized a celebration of Juneteenth by serving over 2,000 households in Dane County. Over the course of an afternoon, more than a hundred volunteers from 30 local churches came together to celebrate through united service. Considering the number of families served and volunteers involved, one would think an event like this took months of preparation…
Yet, just two weeks prior to Juneteenth, Rev. Dr. Marcus Allen — Senior Pastor of Mt. Zion Baptist Church and President of the AACC — put his plan in motion to gather in a big way to celebrate Juneteenth through a Giveaway.
