Troy University’s Rosa Parks Museum will host its 11th annual Juneteenth celebration on Saturday, June 20 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The free event will take place on Montgomery Street in front of the Museum and include free admission to the museum and the Cleveland Avenue Time Machine, merchandise and service vendors, food trucks, a kids’ play area, live entertainment and giveaways throughout the day. Observed annually on June 19, Juneteenth is the oldest known commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States, commemorating the date in 1865 when Maj. Gen. Gordon Granger and his troops landed at Galveston Texas with the news that the Civil War had ended and the enslaved were free. In 2021, then-President Joe Biden signed legislation declaring Juneteenth as a federal holiday. On May 9, Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey signed House Bill 165 into law, marking Juneteenth as an annual state holiday. Live entertainment for the day will feature Comedienne Joy as the emcee, DJ at Large, local talent throughout the day and a performance by the Tuscaloosa-based band Brother 2 Brother at 1 p.m. “The Rosa Parks Museum is excited to commemorate Juneteenth with our 11th annual celebration,” said Donna Beisel

MADISON, Wis. — Van Orden has had quite the head-spinning week as evidenced by his 122 tweets. From incoherent attempts at disses to lying about saving BagderCare again , you can find all the highlights (or lowlights) of Van Orden’s online presence this past week below. DVO’S DADDY OF THE WEEK: Stephen Colbert Stephen Colbert’s show ended last week, and Van Orden, of course, had to get in on the discourse.
