Come share stories of what Juneteenth means to you. Have your story played back with a group of amazing actors and musicians.
From June 18 to 20, 2024, the National Archives Museum will display the original Emancipation Proclamation and General Order No. 3, a Proclamation from the Executive of the United States that all slaves are free.
