Dancers from Dani’s Dance Dynamics go through part of their routine as they walk during the entire route of the fourth annual Juneteenth Unity Parade hosted by Project Freedom 326 on Sunday, June 16. Juneteenth, sometimes called Freedom Day, Jubilee Day or Cel-Liberation Day, is an American holiday celebrated on June 19, marking the date in 1865 that the Emancipation Proclamation — which had been issued on January 1, 1863 — was read to enslaved African Americans in Texas by Gordon Granger.
