On June 19, 1865, about two months after the Confederate general Robert E. Lee surrendered, enslaved African Americans in Texas were told they were free. The day became a day of celebration of emancipation in the area.

A century and a half later, people across the entire country continue to celebrate the day, which is now a federal holiday. You can celebrate in West Michigan this coming Sunday as Justice4All presents their second annual Juneteenth Jam.

The Justice 4 All Juneteenth Jam is an annual celebration of Black culture, talent, art , and experience held in Grand Rapids, Michigan on Juneteenth (6/19).
