Juneteenth Jubilee: A Night of Black Joy and Activism

Juneteenth is the annual celebration of the Emancipation of enslaved Africans in the United States. June 19th, 1865 marks the day that enslaved African people in Galveston, Texas received word that that they had been legally freed – a full two and a half years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation.

On June 19th, 2020, we remember the dark legacy of American capitalism while also celebrating moments of joy and humanity while being Black in America. Join us in a night of ‘black joy and activism’ as we take time to celebrate freedom, and all the ways in which we continue to do the work.
