NFTA team members gathered at our headquarters last Friday for a Juneteenth flag-raising ceremony to commemorate and celebrate the end of slavery in the United States (June 19, 1865). Highlights from our ceremony were captured on WGRZ here.

This event preceded the NFTA's participation in Buffalo's Juneteenth parade and festival over the weekend (June 14-15). We were thrilled and honored to be a part of these special events, celebrating freedom, resilience, and the rich cultural heritage of Buffalo's Black community.
