What is Juneteenth?

Juneteenth: A day of freedom’s roar! It wasn’t until June 19th, 1865, that the news of liberation finally reached enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, marking the **long-awaited end** of slavery in America. This wasn’t just a single moment, but the culmination of generations’ struggles for justice. Juneteenth is a celebration of resilience, a joyous declaration of hard-won liberty, and a powerful reminder of the ongoing fight for racial equality. Learn more about the rich history and enduring legacy of Juneteenth!
