Juneteenth Gospel Jubilee in Topeka

Topeka’s Juneteenth kicks off with a soul-stirring Gospel Jubilee at Saint John A.M.E. Church — preaching, live music, and soaring vocals unite the community in celebration of freedom’s hard-won truth. This powerful kickoff marks the start of a weekend of events, including a downtown parade and car show, honoring the historic day enslaved people in Confederate states finally learned of their liberation — two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. Organizers say it’s not just about looking back, but pushing forward with hope and purpose toward true equality. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
