Juneteenth

89-year-old Opal Lee speaks at True Vision Church at 11 a.m. on Sunday.

Juneteenth became a federal holiday last year, and is now celebrated across the U.S. Here are ways to appropriately celebrate and honor this holiday in San Antonio.

Brands and companies are working to remove their Juneteenth items from shelves, as experts say those who are selling Juneteenth-branded products are "tone-deaf."

Long before Juneteenth was recognized as a federal holiday, Sidney Cooper had been celebrating the hallowed day for decades. Lana Cooper-Jones and Marla Cooper remember their father who died in 2001.

This Juneteenth, pianist Lara Downes remembers the freedom that has been hard fought and hard won.

The new federal holiday Juneteenth is being enjoyed all across the country. In San Antonio, the official Juneteenth event coincided with the city's Fiesta. It included live blues from Ruben V and Kenny Wayne, a health fair, a domino tournament, and lots of good food.

La Fiesta está en puerta, y si todavía está usted tratando de acudir a las reuniones de este año, esto es lo que necesita saber. En primer lugar, la Fiesta comenzará más tarde que nunca. La “Fiesta 2021 se llevará a cabo del 17 al 27 de junio.
