Here are some fun ways to celebrate Juneteenth:

📚 Read a Book: Dive into stories about freedom and heroes who fought for equality

🎨 and Crafts: Create a colorful Juneteenth flag or make friendship bracelets in red, green, and black!

💡 Learn History: Ask your parents or teachers about why Juneteenth is important.

🎶 Celebrate with Music: Listen to songs that celebrate freedom and unity.

Let's honor the past and look forward to a brighter future together! ✨
