Today, we honor Juneteenth, a day that commemorates the end of slavery in the United States and celebrates freedom and perseverance. ❤️🖤💚

Although the Emancipation Proclamation was issued in 1863, many enslaved people in Texas did not learn they were free until June 19, 1865, when Union soldiers arrived in Galveston and announced their freedom. Juneteenth serves as an opportunity to reflect on this important chapter in our nation's history and the progress that followed.

Last month, 140 YES Prep juniors and seniors attended a performance of Fences at Alley Theatre through a collaboration supported by the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion Arts Resource Grant. After studying August Wilson’s powerful play in class, students had the opportunity to experience the story come to life through a live performance.

Rising seniors at YES Prep East End Secondary, Pablo Sanchez and Ismael Martinez, shared how reading Fences and seeing it performed on stage deepened their understanding of family, identity, perseverance, and the lasting impact of generational struggles.
