Happy Juneteenth Day! Every year on June 19th we come together to recognize the impact and importance of this day in American History. Juneteenth is a holiday celebrating African American freedom from slavery and a time to engage and honor African American cultural heritage. It commemorates the day news of the Emancipation Proclamation and their subsequent freedom from chattel slavery reached enslaved people in Galveston, Texas on June 19, 1865, three years after President Abraham Lincoln had issued the proclamation.#Juneteenth #blackhealth #blackhealthyequitylb #longbeachca
