To know where we're going, it's important to first know where we come from. Juneteenth celebrates the emancipation of those who had been enslaved in the United States prior to the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution, which abolished slavery nationwide. It now serves as a way to honor those who fought to end slavery and racial injustice, shedding light on issues still facing our nation today.
