Honor Juneteenth

Juneteenth honors the end of slavery in the United States. Two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed, federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas to take control of the state and ensure that all enslaved people were freed.

In honor of Juneteenth, find celebrations occurring throughout the city, or spend some time reflecting on actions you can take to help fight racism in Chicago and throughout this country.
