Honor Juneteenth National Independence Day with C.H. Booth Library on Tuesday, June 28 from 7:00 pm via Zoom
A John Cilio Program. Join us as we explore the history and origins of America’s most recent addition to our national holiday schedule. Juneteenth is a portmanteau word for June and nineteenth. It commemorates the June 19, 1865 Federal Government’s announcement in Texas that emancipated the last enslaved African-American people of the Confederate South.
Juneteenth, originally known as Jubilee Day, is a special holiday that celebrates tomorrow’s promise that American freedom provides to every citizen.
