Juneteenth became a federal holiday in 2021 that commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans, specifically the day when Union General Gordon Granger announced the freedom of all slaves in Galveston, Texas on June 19, 1865, two years after President Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation. Juneteenth symbolizes the long journey towards equality and civil rights while celebrating African American culture, heritage, and resilience. The historical injustices and ongoing struggles of African Americans has to be recognized, and we did it with a HUGE CITY BUS on @ridedart !!! #juneteenth #publictransit #OOH #advertising DART - Des Moines Area Regional Transit Authority Adsposure Iowa Juneteenth Observance Dwana Bradley Kourtney Perry, OMBW www.adsposure.com
