Juneteenth was celebrated in San Marcos with a gathering at LBJ & MLK Streets. Also at the gathering Rotarians dedicated a 2nd San Marcos Peace Pole, with Rotarian Dr. Jannett Jackson delivering the dedication comments.
The peace pole is in three languages, English, Spanish, and the Texas indigenous language of Coahuiltecan. In English the pole says, “May Peace Prevail on Earth.” That is translated into Spanish as “Que la Paz Prevalezca en la Tierra.” The Coahuiltecan language has no word for peace so the phrase is translated on the pole as “May We Walk Well With Mother Earth,” or “Na-kāi manām yō Tāp Tāi.”
