Join the Celebration of Freedom: The 15th Annual Juneteenth Parade and Jubilee Festival in Houston

Juneteenth stands as a significant moment in American history, marking the emancipation of the last remaining enslaved African Americans in the Confederacy on June 19, 1865. It's a day that commemorates the end of slavery and reflects the continuous journey towards equality and justice in the United States. Each year, the spirit of Juneteenth ignites reflections on the resilience and strength of those who fought for liberation and reminds us of the ongoing pursuit of a future that embodies freedom, equality, and justice for all.
