Join Outdoor Afro for Juneteenth:
Juneteenth is an annual recognition of the moment when 250,000 enslaved Black Americans in Galveston Texas were told they were free in the year 1865 – 2.5 years after the Emancipation Proclamation went into effect – January 1, 1863.
Join Outdoor Afro on June 19 to commemorate Juneteenth by getting outside. Visit a nearby park, forest or beach in honor of Juneteenth for 2.5 hours [in honor of the 2.5 years freedom was denied for 250,000 slaves in Texas].
