Juneteenth is a celebration that commemorates the end of the enslavement of African-American people in the United States.
It marks the day, June 19th, 1865, when Major General Gordon Granger ordered the final enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation in Texas, even though the proclamation had been issued January 1, 1863, more than two years earlier.
It took more than two years. Freedom is still a process. Some of the Juneteenth events are calls to action, and all encourage community involvement.
We are listing Juneteenth Celebrations in the Triangle, including festivals, concerts, panel discussions, cookouts and more.
