庆祝六月节
Celebrating “Freedom Day” 2023: A Virtual 六月节 Exhibit with NHD Massachusetts
六月节 (简称“6月19日”)是为了庆祝1865年联邦军队抵达加尔维斯顿的这一天, 德克萨斯控制了这个州, declaring that according to the 1863 Emancipation Proclamation, 德州所有被奴役的人都是自由的. 从那时起, 六月节庆祝活动纪念了我国的第二个独立日，并承认了为人权和平等而进行的斗争.
Though it has long been celebrated among African American communities, 六月节 is a part of history that still remains largely unknown to the wider public. In 2020, 六月节 was declared a state holiday 在马萨诸塞州, and the following year was recognized as a federal holiday.
The Massachusetts Historical Society began an annual NHD Massachusetts 六月节 exhibition in 2020 with three goals: to promote an understanding of and engagement with the 六月节 holiday; to highlight select NHD student projects whose work explores topics related to African American history, 文化, 成就, and freedom; and to spread awareness of these often marginalized historical narratives. This year's NHD projects approached history through the theme of 《历史的前沿:人、地、思想."
