To many, June 19 is known as Juneteenth, a day to celebrate the emancipation of enslaved people in the United States. The day now serves as a double celebration for those connected to the Houston Area Urban League said Coryat. “To think that an organization has been doing this to help others for that length of time is incredible,” Coryat said.
