Summary

Juneteenth celebrates the emancipation of enslaved people in the United States. Across the country, people observe the day with speeches, poetry readings, festivals, picnics, street fairs, and family reunions. It is a day for people to come together and continue working toward equality.

Listeners will discover how a shared holiday can have multiple traditions and be celebrated in all sorts of ways.
