On June 19, 1865, enslaved African-Americans in Galveston, Texas, were told they were free. Now, 155 years later, people in cities and towns across the U.S. continue to mark the occasion with celebrations. Juneteenth, an annual holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the United States, has been celebrated by African-Americans since the late 1800s.
We the "BURG" Family Reunion Club will be celebrating this day on Saturday, June 18 at Ida Lee Park in Leesburg, VA. We look forward to having people from all walks of life to enjoy this day with us.
