Juneteenth officially became an American federal holiday two years ago, called “National Independence Day” by President Joseph Biden. Juneteenth, which is both a day of solemn reflection and remembrance and one of emancipation celebration, uplifts June 19, 1865: the date when the last enslaved people in the Confederacy were notified of their freedom following the Civil War. The Town of Rye, which is home to one of the area’s most important Black History sites, The Rye African-American Cemetery, once again honors the memory of our forebears with its third annual event of service and spoken word at the cemetery, on Saturday, June 22, 2024, beginning at 10 am.
