Juneteenth is an annual observance also known as Emancipation Day, Black Independence Day, or Jubilee Day. It celebrates the end of slavery in the United States in 1865. Slavery in the American South ended after the Civil War on June 19, 1865. The 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, ratified on December 18, 1865, abolished slavery throughout the entire United States. In 2020, legislation was passed in New Jersey to observe Juneteenth as a state holiday. Learn more about Juneteenth by reviewing our University Library Resources. 

As a Catholic community of encounter and accompaniment, we keep in our thoughts and our prayers the members of our community who celebrate this June, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ+) Pride Month, a time to remember the many achievements and contributions of the LGBTQ+ community. The 2025 Pride theme is "The Fabric of Freedom," emphasizing unity and a global call to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community.  

June is National Caribbean-American Heritage Month, a time to celebrate the rich history and vibrant culture of the more than 4 million Americans with Caribbean origins. The 2025 theme is "Celebrating Caribbean Contributions to American History, Culture, and Life."

June is Black Music Appreciation Month, which celebrates the musical influences of African-American and Black musicians, composers, singers, and songwriters. The 2025 Black Music Month theme is "African Americans and Labor." It focuses on the ways that work, both free and unfree, has shaped the experiences of Black people throughout history, including their contributions to music and other artistic endeavors.

June is Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness Month to help raise awareness about the disease, as well as show support for the millions of people worldwide living with Alzheimer's or another form of dementia. It is also a time to recognize caregivers for the support they provide to those living with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia.
