This year, San Marcos organizations are coming together in a sense of community, commemoration and fellowship to host the first ever countywide Juneteenth celebration. The Dunbar Heritage Association, the Hays County Historical Commission, Cephas House and the Calaboose Museum will hold a series of events — some of which are already underway — to share the history and culture of Black Americans in our community.
“It’s the first time we’re all pulling together for a citywide celebration,” said Jonafa Banbury, Secretary of the Dunbar Heritage Association.
“It’s definitely a community thing,” added Alex Banbury, Jr., who serves as the DHA President. “We all want to work together. We have the same end goal.”
