Newly-freed Black people celebrated the first Juneteenth in 1866 to commemorate liberation\u2014with food, singing, and the reading of spirituals\u2014and take pride in their progress. 155 years later, Juneteenth celebrations <a href=\"http:\/\/www.juneteenth.com\/international.htm\" rel=\"\">span the world<\/a>, and calls for Juneteenth to be an official holiday have grown stronger amid an international reckoning around civil rights and racism brought on by the murder of George Floyd.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-158dogj evys1bk0\">Despite the coronavirus pandemic leading organizers to cancel many larger in-person events, there are ways to celebrate Black people and culture no matter where you are.
