PHOTOS: Fairchild AFB Juneteenth Celebration
Mona Martin, second from left, a worship dancer, poses with Airmen assigned to the 92nd Air Refueling Wing during a Juneteenth celebration at Fairchild Air Force Base, Washington, June 18, 2024. Fairchild AFB Airmen coordinated this celebration to honor June 19th, which is the day that enslaved African Americans were emancipated. On that day in 1865, the Union Army announced to the people of Texas that all slaves were free under the terms of the 1862 Emancipation Proclamation, creating the holiday we know as Juneteenth.
