Historical Significance
To celebrate Juneteenth, a U.S. federal holiday on June 19 that marks the emancipation of enslaved Black Americans, Americans across the country can visit museums, historical sites, and landmarks dedicated to the sacrifices and contributions of Black Americans, from slavery and abolition to war service and cultural influence. These institutions promote education and activism while honoring the lives and legacies of Black Americans. Many have free admission, while others cost around $15 or less.
