Juneteenth, occurring annually on June 19, honors the end of legalized slavery in the United States on June 19, 1865, two and a half years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. On that date, federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas and freed enslaved people who had not been liberated following President Abraham Lincoln\u2019s ruling. <\/p>\n

Juneteenth is not only a recognition of this date, but is also a celebration of African American culture, resilience, and progress. As a federal holiday, Juneteenth honors the struggle for freedom and equality, serving as a reminder of the enduring journey toward social justice.<\/p>\n

Learn more about Juneteenth at the free Southern Colorado Juneteenth Festival<\/a> from June 14-16, taking place at America the Beautiful Park. You can also watch this Lifetime video<\/a> to learn about Opal Lee, the grandmother of Juneteenth.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

Over Spring Break, a group of eight CC students attended the Model United Nations Conference in Washington D.C. Zeke Lloyd \u201924, traveled with the team and served as the reporter for their experience. Follow the team\u2019s story as they trained, traveled, and competed amongst the best of the best.<\/em><\/p>\n

James Hanafee \u201922, the former President of CC\u2019s Model UN Club, nearly tackles me in the hotel restaurant. The hug is warm and familiar. Zack Weiss \u201922, another old friend who also spent four years involved with the club, accompanies Hanafee. Weiss and I had reunited briefly over the summer in Tbilisi, Georgia, but our embrace still comes too long after our last. Nick Cleveland-Stout \u201922, the third of the leadership team from that year and a friend I first met over Zoom in the fall of 2020, flashes me his classic grin. I haven\u2019t seen him in two years, during which time he completed a Fulbright Scholarship in Brazil. He looks a little older and a bit more traveled. He has a new haircut but the same radiant yet curious expression. <\/p>\n
