Juneteenth Community Celebration

Details
Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, is an annual holiday celebrated on 19 June in the United States. The day commemorates the day in 1865 when Union Army General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced that all enslaved people in Texas were free, two and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln had signed the Emancipation Proclamation. The celebration of Juneteenth has roots in African American communities and has been observed since the late 1800s. It is a day to remember and honor the struggles and sacrifices of African Americans in their continued fight for freedom and equality. In 2021, President Joe Biden declared it a federal holiday in the US. This year The Little School and Eton School are honored to host a Juneteenth Community Celebration designed to center, celebrate and support Black voices and businesses. Free and open to the public, this event is on Saturday, June 15 from 11 a.m.-5:30 p.m. Save the date and stay tuned for more information! Questions? Reach out to Community Events and Alumni Coordinator, Jenny Chiang at jennyc@thelittleschool.org.
