Look for Juneteenth activities in Atlanta & Philadelphia, and remember Hyperion Bank will be closed Friday, June 19, for this Federal holiday. We’ll re-open at 9a that Monday, June 22. Enjoy online in the meantime.
“Juneteenth” is a portmanteau of “June” & “nineteenth.” It is the oldest commemoration of the end of slavery in the U.S. On June 19, 1865, the Union Army finally brought news of emancipation to Texas, the furthest confederate state. A national expression of African American culture and freedom, it is celebrated both informally and officially, from family gatherings to parades and is also sometimes called “Freedom Day.”
