"Juneteenth Celebrations Across the US: Locations and Etiquette"

Juneteenth, a day commemorating the end of slavery, will be observed on June 19 in the United States. The day has been celebrated for decades by Black communities as Emancipation Day, but recent events have thrust it further into national and cultural prominence. Many states and cities have planned festivities to mark the day, which is often celebrated with parades, street parties, and cookouts. Civil rights activists say that memorializing Juneteenth reaffirms the country's quest for equality.
