Juneteenth at Reed Bingham State Park

Juneteenth “is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. From its Galveston, Texas origin in 1865, the observance of June 19th as the African American Emancipation Day has spread across the United States and beyond.”
WWALS will be joining the Macedonia Community Foundation at Reed Bingham State Park to help people from Brooks, Cook, and Tift Counties and beyond to celebrate Juneteenth. Our contribution will be to supply boats and boating assistance for those who want to paddle on the lake. For children whose parents do not want to paddle with them, we will have some adults ready to assist.
All paddlers with WWALS will need to sign the WWALS event waiver so you will be covered by WWALS insurance; we will have copies of that form there. If you have a boat, PFD, and paddles you could bring for us to use for this, please do. We will also be renting a couple of boats from the park.
The Macedonia Community Foundation is preserving & restoring African & Native American cemeteries, burial grounds and landmarks in the South Georgia counties of Brooks, Lowndes & Thomas Counties. The goal is to increase economic workforce development.
This outing is free. We recommend you support the work of WWALS by becoming a WWALS member today!
