什么是六月节（Juneteenth） ？

作为美国新的联邦假日，六月节由乔·拜登总统于 2021 年设立，，以纪念奴隶制的终结。这个节日的（英文）名字是“六月”和“十九日”这两个词的组合，是因为1865 年 6 月 19 日，当时的联邦陆军将军戈登·格兰杰抵达德克萨斯州的加尔维斯顿，并通知被奴役的美国黑人他们的解放——这发生在亚伯拉罕·林肯总统发布《解放宣言》两年多后。

What is Juneteenth?

Juneteenth was established by President Joe Biden in 2021 as a new federal holiday in the United States commemorating the end of slavery. The holiday's name is a combination of the words "June" and "nineteenth," as it was on June 19th, 1865, when Union Army General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas and informed enslaved Black Americans of their emancipation — more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation.







在美国如何庆祝六月节？

起源于美国德克萨斯州加尔维斯顿市当地居民的自由庆祝活动，随着德克萨斯州的非裔美国人迁往美国其他地区，这一庆祝活动逐渐演变成了对奴隶制度结束的更广泛纪念。如今，六月节更多变成了一个以家庭为中心的庆祝活动，节日期间通过举办各种活动来促进社区团结和和睦相处。这些活动包括为儿童提供参加社区游行、才艺表演、手工艺和表演的机会，以增强归属感、自豪感和文化认同感。

How is Juneteenth Celebrated in the United States?

What began as an informal celebration of freedom by locals in Galveston, Texas eventually grew into a wider commemoration of the end of slavery around the country. Today, Juneteenth is often celebrated as a family-oriented holiday with activities to encourage community unity and togetherness. These can include opportunities for children to participate in community parades, talent shows, arts and crafts, and performances that promote a sense of belonging, pride, and cultural identity.
