US EditionJuneteenth celebrations across the US commemorate the end of slavery
- Juneteenth celebrations took place across the U.S. on June 19, 2025, commemorating the end of slavery with marches, festivals, and community events.
- These events commemorate the 160th anniversary of when Union troops informed enslaved individuals in Texas of their freedom, occurring more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued.
- Events included a commemorative march across the 11th Street bridge in Anacostia, Milwaukee’s long-standing Juneteenth gatherings marking over five decades of celebration, and cultural programs held in New Hampshire and Vermont.
- Speakers like Ronald, Reid, and Milele Coggs emphasized unity, truth, and empowerment, with Ronald stating, "Love conquers hate" and Reid urging, "It's time for people to get pulled together."
- While some celebrations scaled back due to political tensions, Juneteenth’s federal holiday status and growing community support suggest continued progress toward acknowledging African American history and freedom.
