The Altadena Historical Society, in collaboration with the local community, will host a Juneteenth Celebration Luncheon on Wednesday, June 19, 2024, at Farnsworth Park—Davies Building in Altadena.
Now an annual event, the Juneteenth celebration is a testament to the commitment to honor the life and legacy of Ellen Garrison Clark, a 19th-century civil rights activist. The Altadena Historical Society established the Ellen Garrison Clark Fund, placed a grave marker where she was buried in Mountain View Cemetery, and awarded scholarships to two deserving high school seniors, making a tangible difference in their lives.
Ellen Garrison Clark Scholarship to be awarded to Muir Students
This year, the Altadena Historical Society (AHS) honored her legacy by awarding $1,000 scholarships to two graduating seniors from John Muir High School. The program will also feature a compelling Ellen Garrison Clark documentary by Five Sisters Productions and a display of historical quilts made by Vicki Stuckey.
This event on Juneteenth is made possible by contributions to the Ellen Garrison Clark Fund and the support of Mountain View Cementery and AHS member Timothy Jones of Collen, Texas.
