Celebrate Juneteenth - June 19, 2021 |
|
This Saturday we honor and acknowledge the historical struggles of the black community.
Juneteenth, June 19, is a Black American holiday to remember the day when word finally came in 1865 to slaves in Galveston, Texas, that slavery had been ended by President Abraham Lincoln’s Jan. 1, 1863 Emancipation Proclamation.
The annual celebration, also known as Jubilee Day, Freedom Day and African American Independence Day, is celebrated with family and community get-togethers, eating red-colored foods, like red velvet cake and strawberry soda, and sharing family history, music, singing and stories.
