Father’s Day 2026 was a day of joy at Allen Temple! We honored the fathers, grandfathers, uncles, godfathers, and father figures who show up, pour in, and hold the line — and our Witnesses to the Word, Rev. Demitrius Burnett, Bro. Barry Lanier, Bro. Ralph Gordon, Bro. Gordon Greenwood, and Bro. Terry Goode, blessed us with powerful reflections on what it truly means to be a father. We are grateful for every man in this village. Fathers, we thank God for you!

On June 19, 1865 — more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation — federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, and freedom was finally enforced for the last enslaved Black Americans.

Today, we honor those ancestors. And we recommit to the fight for justice, equity, and true liberation - because the work is not finished. Their resilience is our inheritance. Their freedom is the foundation we build on.

Happy Juneteenth. 🖤✊🏾
