Friends of Mosaic Templars Cultural Center

Friends of Mosaic Templars Cultural Center We develop and implement strategies to raise funds in support of the Mosaic Templars Cultural Center.

In 2008, a group of citizens came together to plan and conduct grand opening events in recognition of the newly rebuilt Mosaic Templars Cultural Center (MTCC). This vision was successfully carried out in September 2008 with a gala featuring the Count Basie Orchestra and a day of public celebratory events. Members of this working group soon realized, there is more work to be done to support the MTC

C. In 2009, several members of the initial working group began to meet to discuss ways in which our community could financially support unfunded activities of the MTCC. From these discussions, the Friends of Mosaic Templars Cultural Center (FMTCC) was born. The purpose of the Friends of the Mosaic Templars Cultural Center non-profit 501 (C) (3) support Organization is to develop and implement strategies to raise funds in support of the MTCC and its mission. Specifically, the Friends will be recognized as an independent entity in its structure and operation.

Today, we celebrate Juneteenth—a day of freedom, resilience, and reflection.

On June 19, 1865, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued, enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, finally learned of their freedom. Juneteenth stands as a powerful reminder of the ongoing pursuit of liberty, justice, and equality for all.

As we honor the sacrifices and achievements of those who came before us, we also celebrate the leaders, changemakers, and young people who continue to shape our communities and carry forward the legacy of excellence.

May we use this day to learn, reflect, serve, and recommit ourselves to building a more equitable future.

Happy Juneteenth! ❤️🖤💚💛

Definitely a night to remember!
