Across North Texas, Juneteenth celebrations are kicking off and if you're looking to learn more about the history behind the federally recognized holiday, you can do so in Dallas.
The only known original copy of the document belongs to the Dallas Historical Society and now it's on display at the Hall of State in Fair Park through the end of next month. ""Echoes from the Hill" is a beautiful story about the journey of African-Americans in a small community in the center of Arlington known as the The Hill and this episode talks about how The Hill was formed, how it came to be and just kind of introduces the growth of African-Americans in Arlington," Co-Director Lindell Singleton said.
On the Dallas side, the 2nd Annual North Texas Juneteenth celebration will take place tomorrow at Fair Park from 10 a.m. until 8p.m. A march, festival and live entertainment all included. The City of Lancaster, in conjunction with the cities of Cedar Hill, DeSoto and Duncanville, is hosting the Best Southwest Juneteenth Celebration on Saturday, June 18, at and adjacent to the Helen Giddings Amphitheater at 1700 Veterans Memorial Parkway, Lancaster, TX, from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
