<h4>About Juneteenth: Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day or Emancipation Day, commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. It marks the day on June 19, 1865, when Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced the freedom of enslaved African Americans, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed. Today, Juneteenth is a celebration of African American culture, heritage, and resilience. Join us to celebrate, to educate, and to agitate for continued progress and equality.</h4><h4>
