Honoring Black History, Culture, and Community in Fall River
EntSun News/11062185
FALL RIVER, Mass. - EntSun -- The Bristol Black Collective invites the community to join in a series of events throughout the month of June in honor of Juneteenth. Observed annually on June 19, Juneteenth commemorates the day in 1865 when enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, learned of their freedom—two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed. This day, also known as Freedom Day or Emancipation Day, has grown into a celebration of African American culture, history, and progress. In 2021, Juneteenth was recognized as a federal holiday, a major milestone that reflects its profound importance in American history.
Through powerful storytelling, dynamic performances, cultural experiences, and educational engagement, the Bristol Black Collective's Juneteenth programming invites everyone to honor Black liberation, reflect on the ongoing fight for justice and equity, and celebrate community resilience and joy. All events are free and open to the public.
