The historic Black neighborhood of Montopolis in southeast Austin celebrated Juneteenth on Wednesday, June 19, 2024. Montopolis Proud celebrated its second annual Juneteenth Celebration at the Montopolis Recreation Center located at 1200 Montopolis Drive. There was live music, performances, food, raffles, family-friendly activities, dancing, vendors, and much more. The non-profit group, RE-Claim! also performed at the Montopolis Juneteenth Celebration.

The old Montopolis Negro School was also open to tour at 500 Montopolis Drive from 8:00 to 10:00 am. The old Montopolis Negro opened in 1892 and closed in 1962. This two-room school produced teachers, engineers, preachers, millionaires, and entrepreneurs. This was a fun event that included historical information about the Montopolis neighborhood! The organizers did an awesome job planning this event.
