Ways to celebrate and serve Juneteenth

June 19, 2022 marks the second annual observance of Juneteenth as a federal holiday. Organizers nationwide are kicking off a week of festivities commemorating the end of slavery in the U.S. and championing the ongoing struggle for equity and justice. Though Juneteenth -- June 19th—is newly minted as an official holiday, many African American communities have celebrated the date for generations. Getting the event federally sanctioned took years of hard effort.
