Call for Youth Artists | Juneteenth

drhill18In the Community...

Theme: “JUNETEENTH”

What is Juneteenth?

Also known as Freedom Day and Emancipation Day, Juneteenth is a holiday celebrating the emancipation of Black people and all others who had been enslaved in the United States. It took two and a half years for the news of Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation to be enacted in Texas. The official proclamation was on January 1, 1863, but was not declared in Texas until June 19, 1865, hence we celebrate June 19th as Juneteenth every year.
