This Juneteenth, Los Angeles comes alive with a blend of celebration and reflection. On June 19, communities gather to honor the historic day in 1865 when the last enslaved African Americans learned of their freedom. The festivities mix deep historical roots with a vibrant spirit for a brighter future.
