Today marks the first time the City of Homewood has celebrated Juneteenth as a municipal holiday. Learn more below about the significance of this holiday in celebration of freedom!
Juneteenth is a time to both reflect and celebrate. Today, we observe the important step taken toward the end of slavery in the United States and celebrate the strength of the Black community.
Juneteenth is commemorated at the African Burial Ground National Monument in New York, Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad National Historical Park on Maryland’s Eastern Shore and many other locations across the country. Interior has the honor of protecting sacred places and histories for the American people, many of which explore enslavement, emancipation and the fight for equality.
