Let FREEDOM ring!
On America’s birthday, we are honored to share the Manhattan KS Juneteenth Celebration video we had the opportunity to create. Juneteenth often noted as America’s other Independence Day marks what is arguably the most significant event in American history after independence itself—the eradication of American slavery. Juneteenth commemorates the June 19, 1865, announcement of the abolition of slavery in the U.S. state of Texas, and more generally the emancipation of enslaved African Americans throughout the former Confederate States of America. We loved being a part of this wonderful tradition of diversity in our own community of Manhattan, Kansas.
