Juneteenth is the celebration of the emancipation of enslaved African people in the United States. During the American Slavery Era, the punishment for a person of color who even attempted to read a book was death. This Juneteenth event will showcase the progress people of color have made in our nation and to pay reverence to those who dared to learn to read and write while putting their lives at risk.
