A quick history lesson on the importance of Juneteenth:

✨ Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the emancipation of slavery in Texas and the United States.

✨ Juneteenth, an amalgamation of June and nineteenth, originated in Galveston, Texas, as a response to General Gordon Granger’s pronouncement on June 19, 1865, that “…all slaves are free.”

✨ This announcement was necessary because African Americans in the state did not know that slavery had ended two years earlier.

✨ Traditionally, African Americans celebrate Juneteenth by having parades, cookouts, fish-frys, church services, and family reunions.

✨ Since 2008, the Maryland-National Capital Parks and Planning Commission (M-NCPPC) has held an annual Juneteenth celebration in Prince George’s County, which showcases African-American history, genealogy, music, dance, and activities for adults and children.
