Please see the Virtual Library's mini collection in honor for Juneteenth, available here.

This collection contains featured eBooks, selected peer-reviewed articles, and selected videos arranged for study and discussion during the observation on the Juneteenth holiday.

"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. On June 17, 2021, it officially became a federal holiday."--HISTORY.com.
