DIGITAL DIASPORA: A CELEBRATION OF BLACK HISTORIES & FUTURES
Juneteenth is an annual event, where we bring community members together to celebrate the freedom of enslaved African Americans in the United States. Two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed, enslaved Black people in Galveston, Texas were informed of their freedom and immediately danced in the streets. Today we honor our ancestors and celebrate our freedom, showcasing black joy and culture in Santa Barbara, California. Our community event also honors local black artists, performers, and organizations as well as providing free food, dancing, and singing. View our virtual archive from our 2020 Juneteenth Celebration.
