Welcome to our Juneteenth celebration video! Today, we commemorate a pivotal moment in American history, honor our ancestors, and reflect on our ongoing journey toward equality and justice.
✊🏿 What is Juneteenth?
Juneteenth, celebrated on June 19th, marks the day in 1865 when the last enslaved African Americans in Texas learned of their freedom-two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation. It's a day of reflection, joy, and commitment to the principles of freedom and justice for all.
