36 Things to Do in Cincinnati Juneteenth Weekend
Juneteenth celebrations are happening all across Greater Cincinnati this week, giving us plenty of opportunities to honor Black history, culture, freedom, and community.
The holiday commemorates June 19, 1865, when enslaved African-Americans in Galveston, Texas learned they were free more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued.
