From special movie screenings to concerts to job fairs, there are plenty of ways to celebrate Juneteenth across Southern California.
The holiday, officially called Juneteenth National Independence Day, falls on June 19 each year to commemorate the emancipation of African Americans. On that day in 1865, federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas to free the remaining enslaved people in the nation.
Juneteenth grew to national prominence in 2020 during the social justice movement that followed the police killings of unarmed African Americans including George Floyd and Breonna Taylor.
