About Juneteenth
"More than a cause for celebration, Juneteenth is a reminder that repair is long overdue. We need a call to create a future where this society is free from anti-Blackness." - Alice M Walters
Juneteenth is a significant date in American history and the African American experience. The name is a play on the date of June 19th, 1865. On that day, the Union Army made its way into Galveston, TX under the leadership of General Gordon Granger, and he announced to the people of Texas that all enslaved African Americans were free.
