Today, we celebrate and honor #Juneteenth, a day marking the emancipation of slaves across the United States in 1865. Even though the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation officially outlawed slavery almost two and a half years before, many slaves across the country wouldn't learn of their freedom until 1865. The historical legacy of Juneteenth continues 150 years later. To learn more about Juneteenth celebrations in our city, visit: https://bit.ly/3q5IzzI
