Why Juneteenth Matters: Understanding the Historical Context
Understanding Juneteenth is vital in appreciating its modern-day celebration. This day, now recognized as a national holiday, marks June 19, 1865, when enslaved people in Texas finally received the news of their freedom. As we come together in Zebulon, it's essential to reflect on our history while celebrating the progress made. Juneteenth encourages discussions around race, equality, and remembrance, affording our community the chance to foster understanding and unity.
