Today, we commemorate Juneteenth, honoring the moment when the promise of freedom finally reached those in Galveston, Texas in 1865, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. On this day of solidarity and remembrance, we celebrate the resilience of our community and find joy in the liberation that dance brings ✨ 📸 @kellyprattphoto of @keenfletch #stl #juneteenth #stlmade #freedomday #stlart #stlouis #stldance #stldancetheatre
