Juneteenth celebrations are a chance for this country, the United States to rethink not only its origins but the relationship of everybody who lives in this country to each other. And we are not celebrating the history of Juneteenth. We're celebrating the symbolism of Juneteenth - The symbolism of Juneteenth is the transition from slavery to freedom!

"What to know about Juneteenth and its significance to American history"
"Juneteenth — a combination of the words 'June' and 'nineteenth' — has been celebrated for decades by Black communities as Emancipation Day, but the recent broader reckoning over racial injustices and deepening political polarization has thrust the day further into national and cultural prominence."

It's Emancipation Day in South Africa, a day of celebration in observance of the end of slavery in the British Empire in 1834. I love this image from the District Six Museum in Cape Town. #emancipationday
