A graphic on a black background displays "JUNE TEENTH" in large white letters with green, yellow, and red accents. A yellow banner below reads "FREEDOM DAY," followed by "JUNE 19TH 1865," commemorating the historical date.
A group of people, mostly women, march in a street parade, holding a large black banner that reads "Happy Juneteenth CELEBRATION." The banner also features "Mott Community College Black Professional Alliance" and colorful text, with buildings and spectators in the background.
“Juneteenth wasn’t the day slavery ended- the truth finally arrived.”
On June 19, 1865, enslaved people in Galveston, Texas learned they were free - two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation. That day became Juneteenth, a celebration of liberation, resilience, and black joy 🥹. “Juneteenth is a reminder that freedom delayed is not freedom denied.” ✊🏿
