about Juneteenth
June 19th, a day that marks a celebration of freedom throughout the United States of America. While the freedom of African Americans has been long overdue, this day commemorates the announcement in Texas in 1865 that all enslaved African Americans were free, legally speaking. For many, this is a joyous day, an opportunity to reverently honor the struggles their ancestors endured and to celebrate the progress the black community has made in the United States since the days of emancipation.
