We highly encourage any parents, caretakers, and professionals who help to raise or work with transition-age youth with disabilities to join this webinar.

Join TNSTEP on June 22 at 7p.m. Eastern for a webinar titled Turning 18, which will cover many different things you should know about the transition from childhood to adulthood for people with disabilities.

TNSTEP is a non-profit organization that aims to support families and youth living in Tennessee by providing free information and resources to help keep families of people with disabilities informed and prepared to make important decisions.

Turning 18 is an important milestone in a person's life, oftentimes filled with excitement and anxiety. While new freedoms are conferred upon reaching the age of majority, new responsibilities come with it, too.

Please note that Orange Grove Center's services will not be affected by Juneteenth. #Juneteenth #BlackHistory #AfricanAmericanHistory

The burst represents African-American freedom radiating outward from Texas, signifying the complete enactment of the Emancipation Proclamation throughout the entire United States, which would ultimately be realized with the ratification of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution.

Pictured here is the starburst featured in the center of the Juneteenth flag, representing both the idea of freedom and the Lone Star State of Texas.

Considered to be the longest-running African-American holiday, Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865, when Union Major General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas to enforce the Emancipation Proclamation, effectively ending chattel slavery in the former Confederacy.

Orange Grove wishes everyone a Happy Juneteenth! More and more people have become aware of this special day over the years thanks to a growing Juneteenth awareness movement, culminating in Juneteenth's adoption as a Federal Holiday every year on June 19th.
