Across the United States, African Americans celebrate Juneteenth as a powerful reminder of our liberation from the bonds of slavery.

Celebrations of the holiday serve as reminders of Black progress and statements of resistance amid ongoing challenges. In a time marked by division, these events uplift unity, joy and the enduring richness of Black culture, which are especially abundant in Atlanta.
