Juneteenth: Celebrating Resilience & Preserving History


In 2021, Juneteenth was established as a federal holiday, opening it to symbolic and global interpretation and providing a better understanding of the evolution of our nation and its people.


On June 19th we celebrate the Emancipation Proclamation - the day in which black slaves were finally free. It marks the moment when emancipation finally reached those in the deepest parts of the former Confederacy, painting a picture of how deep slavery is rooted and for how long. Juneteenth also serves as a reminder to question if Blacks are really free as systemic and racial injustices perpetuate through housing, education, and prisons.
