Mavs thrilled to host Juneteenth Golf Classic on second anniversary of Mavs Take ACTION!

The Golf Club of Dallas is the only Black-owned golf course in Texas.

Meanwhile, Saturday night in Dallas, the Mavs will serve as a sponsor for the sold-out Texas Black Invitational Rodeo at Fair Park Coliseum.

Approximately 300 African American cowboys and cowgirls compete for cash prizes in bronc and bull riding, calf and steer roping, barrel racing, a Pony Express relay race, and more.

Juneteenth falls on Sunday, June 19, but will be observed in many places on Monday, June 20, this year. The federal holiday is the country’s second day of independence and honors the end of slavery in the United States, which came almost three years after the Emancipation Proclamation.
