"Juneteenth: A Celebration of Freedom" explores the historic origins of Juneteenth and the lasting impact of the Texas-born tradition, which has come to resonate across the nation. Stationed in the Hall of State, the exhibition will feature two powerful components: the “Historical Track,” which includes firsthand accounts of emancipation shared by formerly enslaved individuals, and the “Celebration Track,” which invites visitors to reflect on Juneteenth by recording their own stories and sentiments.
In addition, will feature the Dallas Historical Society’s Juneteenth Order No. 3, the only remaining copy of those hand-delivered to Texas in 1865 to declare that enslaved people were free.
The exhibition will remain on display through October 19.
