Interested in helping with Juneteenth? Volunteer and help make this Celebration a success! We are looking for individuals NOW to help us with our committees as well as the day of the event.

WHAT IS JUNETEENTH?

Juneteenth is the oldest known celebration commemorating the end of slavery in the United States. Dating back to 1865, it was on June 19, 1865 that the Union soldiers, led by Major General Gordon Granger, landed at Galveston, Texas with news that the war had ended and that the enslaved were now free.

Today Juneteenth celebrates African American freedom and achievement while encouraging continuous self-development and respect for all cultures. As it takes on a more national, symbolic and even global perspective, the events of 1865 in Texas are not forgotten, for all of the roots tie back to this fertile soil from which this holiday is growing.

If interested in helping at the event or before through committee work, please email Scott Love at scott.love@yolocounty.org
