Event Juneteenth: Celebrating Historic South Baton Rouge

Join us for a Juneteenth celebration highlighting the legacy of the historic South Baton Rouge community! Speakers Dr. Terell Johnson of Southern University will share research on the area’s origins, and Reginald Delpit of the Chicken Shack, a representative of the oldest continuously operating restaurant in Baton Rouge, will present his family’s history. All community members, particularly those with origins in South Baton Rouge, are encouraged to attend for lively discussion and great food! Children’s activities will be available.
