African American Voice News Articles

Juneteenth is the official holiday that emphasizes remembering and honoring the past, the spirit of our ancestors and the celebration of freedom. It is the oldest known celebration of the end of slavery.

Each year in June we recognize community builders who are keeping our ancestors' dream alive through their work and commitment to equal rights in the areas of health, education and financial self-reliance. These leaders understand and demonstrate the critical importance of actions over words.
