Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. Dating back to 1865, it was on June 19th that the Union soldiers, led by Major General Gordon Granger, landed at Galveston, Texas with news that the war had ended and that the enslaved were now free. Juneteenth today, celebrates African American freedom and achievement, while encouraging continuous self-development and respect for all cultures.

Juneteenth has been celebrated in Wichita Ks. Since the early 1900’s in homes and gathering neighborhoods with celebrations involving music, food, tools for economic uplift and unity among African American Communities.
