The Story of Juneteenth
For many, Juneteenth is a day of celebration, reflection and reckoning.
The holiday commemorates the end of slavery in the United States and grapples with the effects it still has on generations to this day.
The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center helps tell that story. Brandon Pope took a trip to Cincinnati last year to learn more.
The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center is only about 5 hours away from Chicago, making it the perfect trip for your family to learn some more about your history. Head over to FreedomCenter.org to plan your experience.
