Juneteenth Celebrations
Kutztown University joins our hands and hearts across the United States to celebrate Juneteenth Friday, June 19. A federal holiday since 2021 means the university is closed, but there are multiple ways to celebrate across Pennsylvania, including Allentown, Lancaster, Harrisburg and Philadelphia. 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. The troops' arrival came a full two and a half years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. Juneteenth honors the end to slavery in the United States and is considered the longest-running African American holiday.
