    Juneteenth A Visual History
    (2023-06) Jeremy Pekarek; Becca Hendricks
    Juneteenth is a federal holiday that commemorates African American freedom by acknowledging and celebrating the end of slavery in the United States. Also known as Emancipation Day, Juneteenth’s name and day of recognition originates from June 19, 1865, in Galveston, Texas where Union Troops announced that enslaved people of Texas were free. In June of 2023, the archives curated a display to share this information on campus during Juneteenth programming. In addition to sharing a national history, the story of John Eubanks was exhibited. Eubanks was born into slavery in Kentucky, fought for the Union Army in the Civil War, and eventually moved to Gary, Indiana where he was one of the last surviving veterans of the war in the City. Jeremy Pekarek, an Archivist, curated the exhibit and Becca Hendricks, a Graphic Designer in the Office of Marketing and Communications, designed the retractable banner.
