Description
This Sunday, June 19th marks Juneteenth, the holiday that was mostly celebrated in Black families in the South to commemorate the end of slavery on June 19, 1865. This came two years after the Emancipation Proclamation when the last remaining slaves in Galveston, Texas were freed.
This year, Juneteenth flag raising ceremonies were held at the San Diego Unified School District, Chula Vista and the San Diego County Administration building downtown.
Velma Cooper and her family have been San Diego's primary Juneteenth staple for years called The Cooper Family Foundation’s Annual Juneteenth Festival.
