"Juneteenth: Celebrating History and Education Across America"

Juneteenth, a holiday that marks the day enslaved people in Galveston, Texas found out they had been freed, has become more universally recognized beyond Black America since it was designated a federal holiday in 2021. Celebrations can range from cookouts and barbecues to community service and education panels. Public events include festivals, concerts, and fashion shows. Traditional Juneteenth foods include barbecue and red-colored dishes. Non-Black people are encouraged to educate themselves on the holiday's history and attend events to celebrate.
