Juneteenth commemorates June 19th, 1865, when the news of President Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation finally reached enslaved people of Galveston, Texas.

Although the Emancipation Proclamation was signed in 1863, it took over two years for enslaved individuals to be aware of their freedom. Since then, Juneteenth has been celebrated as Freedom Day or Emancipation Day every year to recognize how long it took for freedom to be extended to ALL enslaved individuals across the country.

Over the last five years, Chris Barreiro knows exactly what it means to be a Y member. While he joined to improve his health, he stayed for the fellowship and community.

β€œI love the YMCA because of the sense of community… you [feel like you belong] to a group, and that people always make you feel great when leaving there.”

Chris’ testimony highlights what sets us apart from the competition: the feeling of true belonging, encouragement, and motivation. Because of our culture, Chris and so many others have been able to get the most out of their Y experience.
