SUMMARY:Juneteenth
DESCRIPTION:Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of
  the ending of slavery in the United States\, and just one of several “E
 mancipation Days” observed by Black diasporic communities in the Caribbe
 an\, Mexico\, Canada\, and the US.\n\nThe holiday is celebrated on June 19
 th (thus the name\, Juneteenth) because\, on that date in 1865\, Union sol
 diers announced to enslaved persons in Texas that the US Civil War had end
 ed and that they had been freed from bondage by the Emancipation Proclamat
 ion (two years prior in 1863). Freed Black and Afro-Indigenous people from
  Texas brought the celebration with them when they migrated to nearby plac
 es like Louisiana\, Arkansas\, Oklahoma\, and Mexico and—even farther—
 to California\, Oregon\, and Washington state.\n\nJuneteenth is a communal
  celebration\, nowadays commemorated with events like block parties\, cook
 outs\, parades\, and rodeos. In my home state of Oklahoma\, I witnessed my
  aunt organize a two-day block party complete with competitions\, games\, 
 food\, and live performances. Like many memorial occasions in the Black di
 asporic tradition\, Juneteenth is a celebratory one instead of solemn\, co
 mmemoration. Festivities I witnessed in both Oklahoma City\, OK\, and Oakl
 and\, CA\, centered on joyous observation of the long-fought for end of US
  chattel slavery and the status of Black liberation in this country.\n\nHo
 wever\, the fight for Black liberation was not resolved with the end of sl
 avery and the close of the US Civil War. The US has failed to extend the p
 romise of liberty to all\, and while no one is more cognizant of that fact
  than Black—and Indigenous and Afro-Indigenous—people\, high-profile k
 illings of Black people have similarly spurred global enlightenment.\n\nLe
