Juneteenth celebrations honor African American history, culture
As Juneteenth approaches, communities across the country are coming together to celebrate the end of legalized slavery and honor the resilience and courage of African Americans in the fight for freedom. From parades and concerts to speeches and spoken word performances, Juneteenth is a time to celebrate African-American culture, history and achievements.
At the Underground Railroad Education Center in Albany, Marcus Anderson is leading the charge to teach young people about the past and present, so they don’t repeat it in the future. Anderson, the deputy director of the center, has made it his mission to teach the youth of today the history of the past and the present.
