Juneteenth emancipation events to be held in St. Augustine, Fla. from June 15 until June 19

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. - May 5, 2023 - PRLog -- Juneteenth, a federal holiday on Monday, June 19 commemorates the end of slavery. A variety of celebratory events will be held in the City of St. Augustine's historic Lincolnville neighborhood and local venues with a series of culturally enriching and educational events hosted by the Lincolnville Museum and Cultural Center, the Gamble Rogers Folk Festival, and the St. Augustine Music Festival. Lincolnville, a central location in the city's history of emancipation and civil rights, was established after emancipation by freedmen and served as a major site of the civil rights movement, where demonstrations were organized that directly led to the passing of the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964. The neighborhood, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, will be the backdrop for many of the Juneteenth events in the city.
