BEAUTÉ NOIR FEST

A Celebration of Black Beauty, Culture and Changemakers

This is a celebration of Juneteenth and what it stands for – Freedom Day. The official Independence Day of Blacks in America.

This holiday commemorates the end of slavery —which wasn’t until two years after Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation and the . Known to some as the country’s “second Independence Day.” Juneteenth celebrates the freedom of enslaved people in the United States at the end of the Civil War. It is believed that many enslaved people still did not know they were free. As the story goes, some 250,000 enslaved people only learned of their freedom after Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, on June 19, 1865, and announced that the president had issued a proclamation freeing them.

BEAUTÉ NOIR FEST is truly a celebration of Juneteenth and its history and what it means and stands for with regards to freedom of life, economics, education, arts/entertainment, food and the black culture as a whole.
