Celebrating Juneteenth in Oberlin
June 15, 2021
Office of Communications
Saturday, June 19, is Juneteenth in America. Long celebrated as an Independence Day in the African American community, Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. Although Ohio has observed Juneteenth since 2009, it was recently in December of 2020 that it became recognized as an official holiday for all Ohioans. In honor of this significant milestone in American history, the college has put together some resources and a list of local events.
