Juneteenth commemorates the day freedom finally reached the last enslaved Black Americans in Galveston, Texas—more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued. For generations, communities have honored Juneteenth through gathering, storytelling, education, and celebration. As we prepare for Juneteenth Community Day, we're reflecting on the history behind the holiday and the ongoing meaning of freedom today. What does freedom mean to you? Share with us below and at the link in our bio! Join us on June 19 as we commemorate Juneteenth through history, community, and conversation. #Juneteenth #NationalCivilRightsMuseum #OurStoriesOurMuseum #FreedomDay
