Juneteenth, short for “June Nineteenth,” marks the day when federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, in 1865 to take control of the state and ensure that all enslaved people be freed. The troops’ arrival came a full two and a half years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. Juneteenth honors the end to slavery in the United States and is considered the longest-running African American holiday. A federal holiday since 2021, Juneteenth occurs on Friday, June 19, in 2026. Although Confederate General Robert E. Lee had surrendered at Appomattox Court House, Virginia, in April 1865, slavery had remained relatively intact in Texas. That is until U.S. Major General Gordon Granger stood on Texas soil and read General Orders No. 3: “The people of Texas are informed that, in accordance with a proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free.” #juneteenthcelebration #wearenotfreeuntilweareallfree 06/19/2026

Sunday! An Evening With Shadow Gathers @shadows.gather W/ The Cherri Depot EDM Dance Party 2217 e. Platte Ave. Colorado Springs For the Denver-based instant-film photographer and self-proclaimed nightlife devotee, with her subjects, it’s one-and-done. If someone blinked, they blinked. If half of their head got cut off, well, let’s hope they were having a good neck night. “The imperfections make them relatable,” she said. “’Cause let’s face it, none of us are perfect…and in a digital age with filters, it’s kind of nice to see a little hot mess.” www.shadowgathers.com #instafilm #wheatpasteart #adjsavedmylife #supportcommunity #supportcommunityartspaces 06/10/2026
