Juneteenth is a day dedicated to recognizing justice and freedom for African Americans and Black people in America. It was first celebrated in Texas on June 19th, 1866 to commemorate the end of slavery and enslaved people first learning of the Emancipation Proclamation. Juneteenth is recognized in 45 states and The District of Columbia. Although the holiday has gained more acknowledgment, there is always room to educate more Americans on how significant Juneteenth is. Here are 50 Juneteenth quotes to help you better understand the importance of Juneteenth and racial justice from modern Black activists, historical figures, celebrities, athletes and more!
