Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865, the day that Union Major General Gordon Granger rode into Galveston, Texas and told enslaved Black people about their emancipation from slavery. Granger’s announcement came more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation and represents a symbolic delay in the granting of freedom to enslaved Black people, symbolic still as the fight for racial justice and equity continues in Malden and across all of the United States. Malden’s Juneteenth event will inform about the tension between celebration and continued struggle and will help build a community movement for racial equity.
