The ongoing national conversation about racial injustice introduced many Americans to a holiday then not well known in the mainstream Juneteenth, celebrating June 19, 1865, when enslaved people in Texas finally learned they had been freed by the Emancipation Proclamation more than two years earlier, on Jan. 1, 1863.
But we couldn’t do much with this knowledge in 2020. The pandemic made public celebrations a no-go, so most Juneteenth 2020 events were muted and, for safety’s sake, virtual.
What a difference a year and mass vaccinations can make.
This year, Angelenos have a long list of diverse, real-life events to choose from, from remembrances of an early civil rights activist to community parades and rallies to celebrations involving music, food and drink.

Sonoma County Pride Goes Beyond the Rainbow for 2021 Sonoma County Pride Goes Beyond the Rainbow for 2021
After a challenging year of cancellations and lockdowns, this year’s Sonoma County Pride celebration is returning with hope and positivity! This annual event will include a month-long series of COVID-19 aware micro-events in varied venues throughout Sonoma County. The events will offer activities for all ages and abilities. This year’s theme, “Beyond the Rainbow: Surviving, Reviving, and Thriving,” takes inspiration from
The Wizard of Oz to offer renewal and support to the LGBTQ community.
Sonoma County Pride’s Secretary Cheryl Kabanuck puts the beloved film’s lessons into perspective. “There’s no place like home being back together with our community. Courage leads us here, knowledge is how we survive, and heart is what keeps us together.”
