Communities across South Florida are marking Juneteenth with celebrations, educational programs and cultural events that honor the end of slavery in the United States and recognize the ongoing contributions of African Americans to the nation’s history. Observed annually on June 19, Juneteenth commemorates the day in 1865 when enslaved people in Texas learned they were free—more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. Dr. Tameka Bradley, regional manager of the African American Research Library & Cultural Center in Broward County, says the holiday represents an important milestone in American history and serves as an opportunity to reflect on the nation’s progress. “It is a critical marker in this country that marks a point by which we continue to perfect our union,” she said. “We finally got it right when it came to slavery, and we began the process of incorporating Black people.” While Ju

U.S. soccer star Timothy Weah is a member of one of soccer’s royal families. So much so that his father George Weah, an icon in the sport who went on to become president of Liberia, is referred to as “King George.” “Growing up, you have the pictures all over the house and his jersey, so you kind of have an idea of what his career was like,” Timothy said on NBC and Telemundo’s “My New Favorite Futbolista.” “We went to the World Cup in South Africa and just seeing his interaction with people and fans, you kind of pick up on, ‘Ok, he was pretty much a big deal.’” It’s in those moments throughout his life that Timothy says he has “experienced my dad’s stardom.” Now he’s experiencing his own stardom, as soccer’s king of Queens.
