Boston: Happy Juneteenth!
Rezul News/10705148
~ Boston, MA - The city of Boston has officially recognized June 19 as Juneteenth, reaffirming its commitment to honoring Black freedom, resilience, and culture. The resolution, passed by the Council, encourages all residents to observe the day through celebration, education, and action towards a more just and equitable society.
Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day and Emancipation Day, holds significant historical importance as it marks the day in 1865 when Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas and announced the end of slavery in the last Confederate state. This momentous event became a symbol of delayed justice and enduring strength for Black Americans.
Although Black communities across the United States have been commemorating Juneteenth since 1866, it was not until 2021 that it was officially recognized as a federal holiday. This recognition comes after decades of grassroots advocacy led by influential figures such as Opal Lee, known as the "Grandmother of Juneteenth."

Boston first established Juneteenth as a city holiday in 2020, recognizing it as a time to reflect on the legacy of slavery and acknowledge the ongoing contributions of Black Bostonians to the city's cultural, civic, and economic life.
The resolution also pays tribute to Boston's historical ties to the abolitionist and civil rights movements. Leaders such as Frederick Douglass, David Walker, and Melnea Cass have shaped these movements in Boston. The city continues to play a crucial role in advancing Black liberation through public policy, education, arts, and community leadership.
In recognizing Juneteenth as an official holiday in Boston, the Council invites all residents to join in commemorating this day through reflection, education, and community engagement. This serves as a reminder of the city's commitment to racial justice and inclusion for all its residents.
