Annapolis Juneteenth

Annapolis, a city with deep roots in the African-American community, once a prime port for slave trade, is now hosting Maryland’s Juneteenth festival.

Juneteenth (short for “June Nineteenth”) marks the day when federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas in 1865 to take control of the state and ensure that all enslaved people be freed. Here in Maryland we are taking steps to educate the people about the importance of Juneteenth.

We hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful day here in Annapolis Maryland and we appreciate and love all those who helped this weekend with our celebration. #juneteenth2022 #AJ2022

Happy Juneteenth. Today, we celebrate freedom, liberty, and justice for all.

On this day in 1865 news of the abolition of slavery reached Texas, the last population of people in our country to be told the news of freedom.
