The second annual “Journey to Juneteenth '' celebration organized by the City of Gainesville inaugurated with a commemoration of emancipation in Florida.

Black artists said at the event they must routinely take it upon themselves to build their platform and grow their representation in Gainesville. They also questioned whether the city was doing all it could or should in terms of helping them to promote Black artists and their work.

Residents gathered at city hall Thursday morning to raise a flag representing the emancipation of slaves in the U.S. and to kick off a celebration “Journey to Juneteenth” from May 20 to June 19.
