Juneteenth
Anniversary
Today’s video Google Doodle, illustrated by Los Angeles-based guest artist Loveis Wise and narrated by actor and activist LeVar Burton, honors the 155th anniversary of Juneteenth.
Short for “June Nineteenth,” Juneteenth marks the true end of chattel slavery across the United States - which didn’t actually occur until 1865, two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation.
