Juneteenth celebrations across the US faced various challenges this year. Some events were cancelled due to safety concerns in the current climate, while others scaled down due to reduced corporate sponsorship. In West Virginia, the state holiday was revoked, prompting organizers to reschedule their event. Despite these setbacks, many celebrations continued, with organizers emphasizing the importance of commemorating the holiday's historical significance and celebrating Black culture.
