Why Juneteenth Matters

Did you know?

Although the Emancipation Proclamation was signed in 1863, many enslaved people in Texas did not learn they were free until June 19, 1865.

Juneteenth commemorates freedom, resilience, and the ongoing pursuit of justice.

Join us for Fall River Juneteenth 2026: A Celebration of Culture, Community & Legacy

Sponsor Spotlight:

Thank you Bristol County Savings Bank for investing in community, culture, and education.
