"Freedom is in the claiming. The elemental sermon embedded into the history and lore of Juneteenth has always been one of hope. The gifts of the holiday are the moments of connection, renewal and joy for a people who have had to endure so much, for so long. To me, Juneteenth matters because it says: Keep going, the future you want is coming."
~Veronica Chambers
Join us for a day of remembrance, learning, sharing stories and good food as we celebrate freedom and everything that goes with it.
What is Juneteenth?
On June 19, 1865, enslaved African-Americans in Galveston, Texas, were told they were free, nearly 2 1/2 years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued on Jan. 1, 1863, by President Abraham Lincoln.
Gordon Granger, a Union general, arrived in Galveston, Texas about two months after the Confederate general Robert E. Lee surrendered at Appomattox, Va.,to inform enslaved African-Americans of their freedom and that the Civil War had ended.
A century and a half later, people in cities and towns across the U.S. continue to celebrate the occasion.
Whatβs happening at the event?
