See all- Juneteenth - Be the Legacy MixerPost Houston, Houston, TX
Did you know that on June 19, 1865, more than 250,000 enslaved African Americans in Texas finally received word of their freedom, nearly two years after the Emancipation Proclamation? This historic moment, now known as Juneteenth, represents not just the end of slavery, but the enduring spirit of freedom, resilience, and community. In 2021, Juneteenth was officially recognized as a federal holiday, allowing global reflection of the preservation of history and community achievements.
As we gather to commemorate Juneteenth, we're not just celebrating freedom – we're strengthening our community, sharing our stories, and building bridges for future generations. Your presence will make these celebrations even more meaningful.
