When Latrice Godfrey introduced the Unified Juneteenth Commission of Lubbock two years ago, she said the purpose of the organization was to unify the community as a whole.
Godfrey, president of the Unified Juneteenth Commission, wanted the community members to know her organization shared a common desire with them — and that is freedom.
Now in its third year, the Unified Juneteenth Commission kicked off its third annual Juneteenth celebration with a reception Wednesday, June 19. This year’s celebration is titled “Juneteenth 2013: Reflections of Greatness.”
