Juneteenth in Queens Festival
Juneteenth in Queens is a community empowered event with Black Creativity, Black Business, Black Love, Black Wealth, Black Networking, Black Opportunity, Black Excellence, and Black Joy.
Since the summer of 2020, multiple Queens communities have reconnected to highlight, celebrate, and commemorate the history of Black Ancestors and their journeying to liberation through Juneteenth.

Juneteenth: A Holiday
In June 2020, inspired to make a difference, Check on Your Black Friends Inc. and stakeholders rallied the state of NY to introduce a bill to codify the liberation journey for the Black diaspora.
The bill was introduced by New York State Senator Kevin Parker and Assemblywoman Alicia Hyndman and was signed into law in October 2020. It paved the way for President Joe Biden to emulate the efforts, making Juneteenth a national recognized holiday on June 19th, 2021.
