This day, known as Juneteenth, has since been celebrated as a symbol of freedom and equality for African Americans. In this blog post, we will explore the historical significance of Juneteenth, its journey to becoming a federal holiday, the traditions and celebrations associated with it, and how we can honor Juneteenth today.
