Meet the NJOF President

Steve Williams

Steve Williams’ "relentless" efforts culminated in passage of the Juneteenth National Independence Day Bill on June 17, 2021. National Juneteenth Observation Foundation (NJOF) president, Steven Williams was raised in an environment recognizing Juneteenth. It was a natural progression when, while working with the Congressional Internet Caucus Advisory Committee, he attended a Juneteenth Breakfast at the National Press Club in Washington D.C. At that breakfast, he met NJOF founder and chairman, Rev. Ronald V. Myers, Sr. M.D., and became actively involved in the Juneteenth mission and holiday campaign for 20 years in the Virginia / D.C. area. He was selected by Rev. Myers to take the reins of the organization and successfully continued the quest for the Juneteenth National Independence Day legislation which was signed by President Joe Biden
