The Galveston College Library and Student Activities hosted the college's first Juneteenth celebration since Juneteenth became a federal holiday in June 2021.
Over 80 students, faculty and staff attended the event, coming together to celebrate unity with music, food and trivia. In addition, more than 20 students participated in the trivia game for a chance to win GC swag and a Juneteenth T-shirt.
Telishia "Tee" Murray, GC director of Library and Learning Resources, and Junior Garcia, GC Student Activities coordinator, along with their dedicated teams and volunteers worked to make this event a success.
