Celebrate Juneteenth with STORYTIME!

Overview

Welcome to Community Christian Academy & Preschool! As a community committed to faith and beliefs, we take pride in celebrating important occasions such as Juneteenth. Join us as we commemorate the emancipation of enslaved African Americans and highlight its significance in our shared history.

The Significance of Juneteenth

Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, commemorates the day when news of emancipation reached enslaved people in the furthest regions of the United States. On June 19, 1865, General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced the end of slavery, two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed. This day represents the ultimate realization of freedom and serves as a reminder of the resilience and strength of the African American community.
