Although it has long been celebrated in the African American community, this monumental event remains largely unknown to most Americans. This was a beautiful dedication. Happy Juneteenth!

So much that most Americans have no knowledge . What a shameful past we have in this country. It hurts to read about it.

Keep up your strong dedication.

I was hoping we could include inviting African Burial Ground people. I am a life long student of my history. Is there some procession or activity simplified for young children?
