The Juneteenth March was founded as a march to New York City Hall in 2020 to highlight multiple injustices and reforms at the center of the city's power. The march was initially started by NYC by a series of events from activists James Felton Keith, Tiffany Rea-Fisher, Brandon Murphy, Gabriel Garmon, Harold Waight and many other neighbors in Harlem from June 4th - June 19th. They came together with a larger group of activists weeks earlier and after the murder of George Floyd. It was a beautiful non-violent march from Harlem down 5th Ave to the Upper East Side of Manhattan that grew to thousands of New Yorkers as it moved south, ending just blocks from where the 5K will start in Central Park.

Tiffany and the team decided to evolve the original march into an event celebrating the health and wellness of Black people. So came the event we have today, a 5K Run, Walk (March), Roll in the park!

All proceeds from the Juneteenth March go towards the building fund of the Harlem Center.  The center is a 10-year effort started by a coalition of +30 New York centered, community based organizations (CBOs). Harlem Center will increase the capacity to address unmet needs and gaps in service delivery.
