丹支持人民币的博彩平台公园和娱乐中心正准备于6月20日(周日)举行一场野餐式的庆祝活动,以纪念“六月节”。这个节日是为了纪念《解放宣言》的消息传到德克萨斯州,以及最后一批被奴役的非洲裔美国人被告知他们获得了自由。
Sunday’s event will be from 3:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Carrington Pavilion. 供应商将在现场展示当地黑人拥有的企业和组织。 这种野餐式的聚会鼓励人们带上草坪椅和食物。
市长阿朗佐·琼斯敦促市民自我教育有关六月节的知识。 他说,要做到这一点,一个简单的方法就是参加活动。
“For African-Americans, it is Freedom Day, so by celebrating the Juneteenth holiday, citizens are celebrating a holiday just as important as the Fourth of July and Memorial Day,” he said. Jones says residents need to be aware that Juneteenth is “an important milestone in American culture.”
六月节是美国最古老的全国庆祝奴隶制结束的纪念日。 1865年6月19日,一位联邦将军骑马进入德克萨斯州的加尔维斯顿,宣布内战结束,奴隶获得自由。 The name “Juneteenth” references the date of the holiday, combining the words “June” and “nineteenth.”
The event on Sunday will feature a battle of the disc jockeys, when “DJ Latoya” and” DJ B-Stupid” play music “back and forth to show off their skills and playlist. 霍尔布鲁克和斯普林街将成为卡利斯·拉克主持的民权之旅的重点。
Famed local storyteller Fred Motely will have an exhibit about the area’s African American history, and the Kuumba dancers will perform.
下午3点开门。 更多信息,请致电(434)799-5150。
