Juneteenth is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. It is also often observed for celebrating African American culture. Originating in Galveston, Texas, it has been celebrated annually on June 19 in various parts of the United States since 1865.
Southfield’s Juneteenth Celebration will kick off with the raising of the Juneteenth flag on Monday, June 10 at 5 p.m. at the circle drive in front of City Hall, 26000 Evergreen Road. This will be followed by the reading of the Juneteenth proclamation with City Council at 6 p.m.
