Juneteenth Jubilee Celebration 2024
Juneteenth, also known as Emancipation Day or Freedom Day, commemorates the day on June 19, 1865, when Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas and announced that all enslaved people were to be freed. This came two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued and marked a significant turning point in the fight for freedom and equality.
On the website, you'll find resources and information about the history of Juneteenth, as well as details about events and activities happening in Louisville. We believe that Juneteenth is not just a holiday, but a symbol of hope and progress. We're committed to creating a space where people can come together to celebrate this important event and continue the work of building a more just and equitable society.
