Remembering #Juneteenth by honoring my ancestors who built this country with their bare hands. To my ancestors that fought for freedom, so I can be here today! 💛

Despite Juneteenth just becoming mainstream it has always been celebrated in many black households and continues to grow in significance and recognition as a day of remembrance, celebration, and freedom. 🫶🏾

What is Juneteenth and why do we celebrate it? Why is it important? Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day or Emancipation Day, is an annual holiday celebrated on June 19th in the United States. 😊

It commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans and the announcement of the abolition of slavery in the state of Texas on June 19, 1865. 😊
