All day long Wednesday, visitors strolled through the African American Museum for a museum-wide celebration of Juneteenth. Many learned the history of the very important day with memorable and emotional reenactments.

There was a flurry of activity at the African American Museum of Philadelphia, a celebration of liberation on the 154th anniversary of Juneteenth, commemorating the abolition of slavery in 1865.
