Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, Jubilee Day, and Liberation Day, is an American holiday celebrated annually on June 19. It is the oldest, national commemoration of the emancipation of enslaved African Americans in the U.S. This year marks the 157th anniversary of when Union Major General Gordon Granger landed at Galveston, Texas, with the news that the Civil War ended and that enslaved people were now free. This announcement was more than two and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. Juneteenth offers each of us the opportunity to acknowledge hard truths from U.S. history, celebrate the liberation of the enslaved ancestors of African Americans, and work together to advance racial healing, equity, and justice in our communities. The NAACP has hosted the North San Diego County Juneteenth for over 55 years. This year is particularly notable with it designated as a federal holiday after over 156 years of its existence. Highlights of this year's event promote the importance of education, contributions, and achievement. Highlights of the all-day event are performances, Kidz Zone, Educational - Community Info Outreach, Free Health Screenings, Vaccine Station, Local Artists / Musicians, and Food & Beverage Vendors. Please join us in celebrating the 157th year of liberation and emancipation. Visit: https://www.nsdcnaacp.org/juneteenth North San Diego County NAACP on Facebook / Instagram
