Honoring The Emancipation of Enslaved African Americans

Published: June 17, 2022Last Updated: September 28, 2022Author: FíontaCategory: DEI, Other, ResourcesTags: DEI, Freedom Day, Juneteenth

Juneteenth is included in Fíonta’s holiday calendar.

Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of ending slavery in the United States. From its Galveston, Texas, origin in 1865, the observance of June 19th as the African American Emancipation Day has spread across the United States and beyond.

Juneteenth commemorates African American freedom and emphasizes education and achievement. It is a day, a week, and in some areas, a month marked with celebrations, guest speakers, picnics, and family gatherings. It is a time for reflection and rejoicing. It is a time for assessment, self-improvement, and planning for the future. Its growing popularity signifies a level of maturity and dignity in America long overdue. In cities across the country, people of all races, nationalities, and religions are joining hands to truthfully acknowledge a period in our history that shaped and continues to influence our society today. Sensitized to the conditions and experiences of others, only then can we make significant and lasting improvements in our society.

– President Barack Obama
