Juneteenth 2025

On Wednesday, June 19, 2025, Martin came alive with the spirit of liberation, culture, and community during WCRP’s annual Juneteenth celebration. Each year the event brings music, food, family activities, and a powerful tribute to Black heritage, hosted in different locations across the community. This year’s headliner was none other than Jerome Chism, “The Bishop of Memphis.”

Youth Summit for Empathy and Compassion

The Weakley County Reconciliation Project partnered with area churches and The Discovery Park of America to host this powerful event for local youth.

Designed for middle and high school students, the free summit brought together parents, youth, and congregations from across Weakley County for a day of connection, creativity, and conversation. The event featured interactive workshops, musical performances, a private gallery tour, and hands-on activities—all aimed at fostering empathy, kindness, and a deeper sense of community.

Attendees heard from local leaders, youth advocates, and artists who shared heartfelt messages about compassion, equality, and unity. A collaborative art project, opportunities to explore service-oriented initiatives, and a closing moment of prayer and reflection—led by youth from participating congregations—made for a meaningful and memorable day.

We are grateful to everyone who came out and supported this effort. As one attendee shared: “We are voices of equality, love, sympathy, and compassion. This is just the beginning.”
