June 19 marks Juneteenth — a day of remembrance, resilience, and celebration.

Juneteenth commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans in Texas on June 19, 1865 — more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued. While Juneteenth has been celebrated in Black communities for generations, it was officially recognized as a federal holiday in 2021.

Juneteenth honors not only the end of slavery, but also the ongoing fight for justice and equality. It is a time to celebrate the strength, achievements, and cultural contributions of African Americans, while preserving history and uplifting community traditions.
