'Black Fourth of July': What is Juneteenth? And how you can celebrate in Palm Beach County
Juneteenth celebrates freedom and African-American heritage. It has grown in recognition and significance across the country, especially since becoming a federal holiday in 2021. Communities use this day to honor resilience, culture, and progress through various events and activities. In Palm Beach County, residents can take part in a range of Juneteenth celebrations, including performances, exhibits and community gatherings. These events provide meaningful opportunities to come together, reflect and celebrate the ongoing journey toward equality and unity. Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, marks the day—June 19, 1865—when the last enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, were informed of their freedom, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed. It is celebrated as a symbolic end to slavery in the United States and is often referred to as African American Independence Day. The colors associated with Juneteenth are red, black, green, blue, and white. Red represents the bloodshed and resilience of enslaved people. Black symbolizes the African American community, while green stands for the fertile land of Africa and growth. Blue and white, which appear on the official Juneteenth flag, represent a new beginning and the promise of freedom in the United States. Yes, Juneteenth is a federal holiday. It was officially recognized on June 17, 2021, when President Joe Biden signed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act into law, making June 19 a federal holiday in the United States. Banks and post offices will be closed on June 19 in observance of Juneteenth. However major restaurants, grocery and retail store chains will remain open on the holiday. Palm Beach County is honoring Juneteenth with a variety of events that celebrate freedom, culture, and community. From museum exhibitions to vibrant festivals, there's something for everyone.
