Juneteenth is celebrated on June 19th to commemorate the emancipation of enslaved people in the United States. The holiday was first celebrated in Texas, where on that date in 1865, in the aftermath of the Civil War, slaves were declared “FREE” under the terms of the 1862 Emancipation Proclamation. Juneteenth is also referred to as “Freedom Day”.
In the NAACP, our largest fundraiser is the “Freedom Fund” so we never forget “Freedom Day”.
This year the CA/HI NAACP Juneteenth theme is “Celebrating the Journey of Freedom” join us along with your fellow CA/HI NAACP Branches this coming Juneteenth weekend in celebrating “Freedom”!
