Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. It took 2.5 years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed before finally enforcing and freeing all of enslaved Black people. Today Juneteenth commemorates African American freedom and emphasizes education and achievement. On Sunday, June 21st,  join NHR at the Juneteenth Forum presented by The New Haven Amistad Committee and The CT 29th.
