Juneteenth Freedom Day!

Juneteenth is a holiday commemorating the emancipation of those who had been enslaved in the United States. It started in Galveston, Texas and is now celebrated every year on June 19th across the United States.

As much as it celebrates freedom, its also an avenue for people to celebrate African American culture and traditions. To locate the nearest Juneteenth event in your area click on the Discover Los Angeles link below.
