National Juneteenth Holiday Campaign

Submitted by Rev. Ronald V. Myers, Sr., M.D. (not verified) on Mon, 06/30/2008 - 11:47pm

We honor our ancestors, Americans of African descent, who heard the news of freedom on the "19th of June", 1865, and celebrated in the streets of Galveston, Texas. "None are free, until all are free!" Juneteenth is the celebration of the end of slavery in America that we have embraced as African-Americans.

Juneteenth is America's 2nd Independence Day celebration. 29 states recognize Juneteenth as a state holiday or state holiday observance, as well as the District of Columbia and the Congress of the United States.

Together we will see Juneteenth become a national holiday in America!
