Juneteenth Celebrated in Minneapolis

Juneteenth lit up Bethune Park in Minneapolis with electric celebration vibes—honoring emancipation’s true arrival on June 19, 1865, not just the Emancipation Proclamation’s 1863 date. As the Smithsonian reminds us, this day marks the end of slavery for millions, and for many, it’s both a proud reflection on progress and a sober reminder that equality still demands work. Though Juneteenth became a federal holiday only in 2021 and Minnesota officially recognized it in 2023 (Wisconsin hasn’t yet), the spirit remains clear: remember the past, honor the journey, and keep pushing toward justice.
