How to Celebrate Juneteenth
Learn about the traditions associated with the event and how to meaningfully engage with the festivities in both big and small ways.
Please note that there are multiple perspectives to Juneteenth - some not so celebratory - including the fact that it took two-and-a-half years after the Emancipation Proclamation became law for some people to learn of and gain their freedom.
