Juneteenth Concert 2022 Relevance To History
This upcoming Juneteenth Concert is the second year that it is considered a federal holiday. Congress has only ratified its status prior to last year's celebration.
Stemming from a rich history to 1865, the celebration is dubbed the 57th annual Black Independence Day. The holiday celebrates the emancipation of enslaved African-Americans specifically and has become a celebration of Black culture generally.
"I'm thrilled that CNN is broadcasting this historic event for our viewers across the globe to celebrate and understand the significance of Juneteenth," CNN CEO Chris Licht said. (via Variety)
For Live Nation Urban President Shawn Gee, this Juneteenth Concert 2022 will be the "most important" event that they have ever produced.
