Although Juneteenth has only been a federal holiday for a few years, the annual celebration held on June 19th has captured the hearts of Black Americans for decades. 🖤

This day marks the June 19th, 1865 announcement in Texas, enforcing the Emancipation Proclamation and freeing the last enslaved people in the Confederacy. Juneteenth became a federal holiday in 2021, thanks to continued advocacy and a renewed push for racial justice.

Today, we celebrate Black lives, honor ancestral strength, and embrace our rich heritage and culture. ✊🏾
