Experience two historic documentaries!
A fascinating look back at the origins and history behind the newest American holiday – Juneteenth | The Birth of Freedom, is the oldest and longest celebrated holiday in the US.
The holiday Juneteenth, commemorates the end of slavery and is the oldest and longest nationally celebrated holiday in the US. June 19th, otherwise known as Juneteenth or Black independence day marks the birth of freedom. The date is significant because June 19, 1865 is when Texas, which was the last Confederate state to return to the Union’s control, which in turn, set the slaves free. Slaves in other states had already received word that they had been freed, however, recognition and organized celebrations didn’t really begin until slaves everywhere were free.
Sadly, the majority of Americans don’t know or even recognize the importance of this date to our history. Not in just Black History, but an important milestone in American history and the birth of freedom.
