Juneteenth, a holiday celebrating the end of slavery in the United States, marks 160 years of freedom next Wednesday. Major General Gordon Granger's order enforcing the Emancipation Proclamation in Texas on June 19 is observed officially. Various events, including live performances by musicians like Common, educational exhibits, and dancing, are planned across cities like Chicago and Central Texas to commemorate Juneteenth. Free entry to National Parks on Juneteenth is also offered by the National Parks Service. Celebrations are set to take place in various locations, with a focus on educating and celebrating African American culture and history.
“Though Juneteenth was born from a victory over the denial of Black Americans’ rights, today we celebrate it while recognizing that the promise of true freedom remains a work in progress,” writes @BrennanCenter researcher Chelsea Jones. https://t.co/zSEQVApj0z
