Did you know there is an official Juneteenth flag? Created to symbolize freedom for the enslaved Black Americans and their descendants, the star represents Texas, the birthplace of Juneteenth. The arc across the flag symbolizes a new horizon, and the red, white, and blue colors serve as a reminder that Black Americans and their history is American history.

As we commemorate Juneteenth, let's remember the history, celebrate the culture, and reflect on the work that continues today.

Words have always mattered in Richmond. This June, they will again.

In 1775, Patrick Henry stood at St. John's Church and delivered the speech that helped ignite a revolution. As the country marks 250 years of independence this summer, the National Speech & Debate Tournament comes to Richmond for the first time.

Seven thousand students from 1,500 schools will compete across 11 venues June 14–19, including the Altria Theater and the Greater Richmond Convention Center. They come here to do what young Americans have always done in this city: make their case.

Why is the National Speech & Debate Tournament coming to Richmond?

In 2018, The Richmond Forum launched the Richmond Forum Speech & Debate Initiative with ten high school teams and a straightforward goal to give students across the region access to competitive speech and debate. Seven years later, 43 schools have active teams, participation has grown from 171 students to more than 900, and 16 local students qualified for nationals this year — up from zero.

That growth is what brought National Speech & Debate Association to Richmond. Beginning in 2020, Visit Richmond VA and The Forum worked together to make the case for this city as a host. NSDA saw strong venues and hospitality, and a community that had already committed to the values the activity represents.

The tournament has previously been held in Des Moines, Phoenix, and Louisville. This June it comes to Virginia for the first time, in the same city where some of the most consequential arguments in American history were made.
