In commemoration of “Juneteenth,” the Hannibal Square Heritage Center will host the tenth annual Juneteenth Celebration: Remembering, Knowing and Shifting the Narrative at historic Ward Chapel, across the street from the Heritage Center. The event commemorates the ending of slavery in the United States. On June 19, 1865 nearly two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation, Union soldiers, led by Major General Gordon Granger, landed at Galveston, Texas with news that the war had ended and that the enslaved were now free. The celebration and observance will feature distinguished guest speakers along with community conversations on diversity, equity, and inclusion.
