Lizeth GeorgeJuneteenth commemorates the emancipation of enslaved people in Texas following the aftermath of the Civil War on June 19, 1865.
“Juneteenth has never been a celebration of victory or an acceptance of the way things are. It’s a celebration of progress. It’s an affirmation that despite the most painful parts of our history, change is possible — and there is still so much work to do.” -Barack H. Obama, 2018
