Columbus Honors Juneteenth with Lights

Columbus City Hall glows red and green for Juneteenth, a powerful symbol of freedom and community as the city celebrates 161 years since enslaved people in Texas were finally told they were free. This historic moment, two years after the Emancipation Proclamation, marks the true realization of freedom across America. Locals recall the emotional power of the day — a time for connection, visibility, and reflection. The city teamed up with key partners like the King Arts Complex, Columbus Urban League, Maroon Arts Group, and Poindexter Village African American Museum to make the celebration meaningful. It’s more than lights — it’s a call to honor the past, celebrate progress, and keep building a better future for all. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
