Saginaw Juneteenth Celebration Inc. is passionate about celebrating African American history, culture, and community. To appropriately acknowledge a time in our history that has helped shape our nation and is still impacting our society today, we must all deepen our connections, take steps to bring about long-lasting change and involve individuals from all races, nations, and religions.

COSBE Inc. / Saginaw Juneteenth Celebration Inc. is a nonprofit organization in Saginaw, ​Michigan, committed to celebrating Juneteenth (short for "June Nineteenth").  Juneteenth is a ​historic and significant event in our nation's history that became a National Holiday on June 17th, ​2021, which is the same year our president and founder, Renee Hawkins Morris, felt inspired to ​create the organization. Juneteenth marks the day in 1865 when federal troops arrived in ​Galveston, Texas, to take control of the state and ensure all enslaved people were freed, more than ​two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed.
