Let's learn about Juneteenth!
Juneteenth is a holiday that commemorates the day when Union soldiers brought the news of freedom to enslaved people in Galveston, Texas. While Juneteenth is of course cause for celebration, this holiday is also an important opportunity for reflection and education. In fact, Opal Lee, known as The Grandmother of Juneteenth, said that people in the U.S. should dedicate the period between Juneteenth and the Fourth of July to working for emancipation and equality for all, because there is much work still to do. Learning this history is good antiracism work, empathy education, and so much more. This 19-page lesson set contains many art and creativity-based activities plus research and critical thinking worksheets to help students of all ages learn about Juneteenth.
