The Juneteenth Houston 2025 Celebrate Freedom, a city-wide initiative was held at Emancipation Park on Sunday, June 1. The celebration was a time held-tradition of freedom, community, great food, entertainment, honoring our ancestors, competitions, history, education, culture, elders and youth. As a matter of record, it was the event’s largest gathering since its inception three years ago. Seven “villages” were highlighted: Acres Homes, Fifth Ward, Fourth Ward, Independence Heights, Sunnyside, South Park and the Third Ward. Kudos to chairpersons John Niklos, II, Jason Oliver and Harrison Guy for their great work!
