Juneteenth Celebration

Juneteenth Celebration

Presented by The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art at The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art

Also known as Freedom Day, Juneteenth is an abbreviation of “June Nineteenth” and honors the emancipation of enslaved people, which was announced by executive order in Texas on June 19, 1865. The history of freedom and equal rights after emancipation is a long and complex one; indeed, that history is still being written today. Juneteenth recognizes this ongoing struggle while celebrating the enduring contributions of African Americans.   Celebrate with The Nelson-Atkins at the seventh annual Juneteenth Celebration.
