Juneteenth is the oldest commemoration of ending slavery. Its origin came from Galveston, Texas, on June 19, 1865, as the African American Emancipation Day. It is celebrated across the US and beyond. On this day, we gather with those we love, share prayer, have a picnic or feast, sing, dance, hear speeches, attend educational events or festivals, and dance. But, most importantly, we reflect and remember. Juneteenth is a celebration of achievement to be free from bondage and chains mentally, physically, socially, emotionally, economically, and geographically.
