WASHINGTON (Gray DC) - Juneteenth celebrates the end of slavery. It marks June 19th, 1865, the day thousands of enslaved people in Texas first learned they were free, more than 2 years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation.
The Absolute Equality Juneteenth Mural Project uses public art to educate communities about U.S. history and spark conversations of racial equity and social justice. They’ve already painted more than a dozen murals across the country. “The Good Side” looked at their latest project, located in Washington, D.C.
