Juneteenth

Graphic by Bruna Costa

The first time I learned of Juneteenth was from a TV program called “black-ish,” then I started to hear more about the holiday. That was in 2018 or 2019.

I went online and I learned it is a federal holiday celebrating the emancipation of the American Black people from slavery. On Dec. 6, 1865, slavery was abolished everywhere in the United States.
