ChesPenn Celebrates Juneteenth with the Community

This month we celebrated Juneteenth in remembrance of the arrival of Union troops in Galveston, Texas on June 19, 1865, 900 days after the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1.  This is considered the day when ALL enslaved black people in the United States officially became free.

158 years later, we are still working toward true freedom for members of the black community.  So much has changed, but important disparities, including freedom from poor health, still demand our passion and commitment.  On the weekend before Juneteenth, we joined Health Educated at the Tie One On Bike/Walk at Subaru Park and spent the afternoon at the City of Chester’s Juneteenth Celebration at Memorial Park.
