The Tampa Police Department Black History Committee has announced the upcoming Juneteenth Summer Block Party at Perry Harvey Park. The event, scheduled for June 19, 2024, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., will feature local vendors, nonprofits, special recognitions, raffles, and a bike giveaway.
Since its inaugural Black History Month Celebration in 1988, the Black History Committee has been dedicated to building rapport with the community by organizing events focused on historical education and investing in youth through scholarships awarded to high school students in Tampa.
The committee continues its mission of strengthening the relationship between Tampa police officers and the community they serve. This year’s theme, "Black History 365," emphasizes continuous community engagement through various outreach events and activities. "Instead of just one day," a spokesperson said, "we are spreading our efforts of supporting educational opportunities for youth, lending a hand, and building strong, positive relationships throughout our community."
The Tampa Police Department is committed to fostering unity within the community through events like the Juneteenth Summer Block Party.
