June 10, 2025: The History, Significance and Celebration of Juneteenth
Juneteenth has been celebrated in Black communities across the U.S. since its inception on June 19, 1865, but it is only recent that it has become recognized in the mainstream as a federal holiday, along with the hallmark of holiday retail sales ads. Join us on Tuesday, June 10 when the Civil and Human Rights Department will join the Education Department for Teaching Tuesday to discuss the history of Juneteenth, how it has been recognized and celebrated, and why it matters in the 21st century.
