Honoring the legacy of freedom. Wishing everyone a meaningful and joyous Juneteenth! 🎊🕊️

Let's Celebrate, Liberate, and Educate! ❤️ Happy Juneteenth from the Center for Family Involvement! 🎉

Juneteenth, celebrated annually on June 19th, commemorates the true end of enslavement in the United States.

In 1865, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation, Major General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, with federal troops to deliver the news that all enslaved people were free.

Today, we celebrate African American history, culture, and progress while reflecting on the journey toward freedom and justice for all.
