Join Us! Summit's Fourth Annual Juneteenth Celebration Promises a Powerful and Moving Event

This June, Summit is once again proud to host its Fourth Annual Juneteenth Celebration, a powerful and moving event commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans in the United States. This year's celebration promises a richer and more diverse program than ever before, building on the success of previous years. Mark your calendars for [Date of Event] at [Time of Event] in [Location of Event].

Juneteenth, celebrated annually on June 19th, holds immense historical significance. It marks the day in 1865 when Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, announcing the end of slavery and the enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation. While the official proclamation was issued in 1863, the news took time to reach the most remote corners of the Confederacy, leaving many enslaved people unaware of their newfound freedom. This delay underscores the ongoing struggle for true equality and justice.

This year's Summit Juneteenth Celebration aims to honor this legacy through a vibrant array of activities designed to educate, inspire, and connect the community.
