Greensboro Celebrates Juneteenth

Greensboro residents celebrated Juneteenth this year with three days of virtual events, concerts and rallies.

This was not the first year that there have been celebrations held in Greensboro for Juneteenth, but this is the first year that it was declared a city holiday.

The Greensboro City Council passed a resolution at its June 2 meeting to declare June 19, 2020 as Juneteenth in the City of Greensboro.

Rally organizer, Mikail Brooks said he wanted to bring citywide recognition to Juneteenth and to remind people how far we’ve come and how far we have to go.

The Juneteenth rally was the young organizer’s first event and he said he was energized by the amount of people who supported his vision.
