Become the next
Mr. Juneteenth Racine
Founded in 2023 by Corey Prince, the Mr. Juneteenth Racine competition was created to celebrate, empower, and uplift young Black men in our community. Designed as a program that instills leadership, confidence, and cultural pride, the competition gives young men ages 13–19 the opportunity to showcase their talents, voice, and vision for their future. Prince established Mr. Juneteenth Racine as a signature part of Racine’s Juneteenth festivities, ensuring that the next generation is centered, supported, and celebrated.
