Juneteenth honors the beginning of our nation’s true independence—the freedom for all members of the reunited nation after the American Civil War. More than 400 years after the first enslaved African people were brought to the North American colonies, the fight for justice and equity continues. Join Rev. Dr. James A. Forbes Jr., notable honorees, distinguished speakers, and renowned artists for this national celebration of Black culture.
