Juneteenth, a blend of "June" and "nineteenth," has been celebrated since the late 19th century, with festivities that include public readings of the Emancipation Proclamation, singing of traditional songs, and readings by African American writers. It is a time for reflection on the progress made and the work that remains in the ongoing struggle for racial equality.
In recent years, Juneteenth has gained more recognition as a symbol of resilience, freedom, and African American culture and heritage. In 2021, Juneteenth was officially recognized as a federal holiday in the United States, solidifying its importance in American history and its celebration of freedom and justice.
