🎉 Honoring Freedom: Celebrating Juneteenth
Juneteenth: A Celebration of Freedom and Resilience
On June 19, we honor Juneteenth, a pivotal day in American history. Also known as Freedom Day, Emancipation Day, or Juneteenth Independence Day, this holiday commemorates the moment in 1865 when enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas finally learned they were free—more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed.
Juneteenth is more than a historical milestone. It’s a celebration of resilience, culture, and the ongoing pursuit of equality. Across the country, communities come together with parades, music, storytelling, food, and reflection to honor the past and work toward a better future.
How You Can Celebrate or Reflect:
-
Join a local event or parade
-
Support Black-owned businesses
-
Read and share stories about African American history
-
Take time to learn, reflect, and engage in meaningful conversations
Let us recognize the progress we’ve made and acknowledge the work that still lies ahead in building a just and inclusive society.
Happy Juneteenth!
Together, let’s continue the journey toward freedom, unity, and equality for all.
