June 19th: Celebrating Juneteenth

June 19th is a significant day known as Juneteenth, which commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans in the United States. This historical event unfolded on June 19, 1865, when the news of freedom reached Texas, officially ending slavery two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation. Juneteenth serves as a tribute to African American heritage, marked by various activities such as gatherings, parades, and traditional food, all while reflecting on the struggles of the past and celebrating the community's accomplishments. Let us take this opportunity to honor the invaluable contributions of African Americans, recognize the progress made, and continue striving for equality and justice. Lamar's Dreams proudly stands in solidarity with the African American community in observance of Juneteenth.
