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.

Actress and model Jordyn Woods has grown health-conscious after her father bid adieu to this world following his battle against cancer in 2017. She recently revealed her fitness routine in a social media share.
Taking to Instagram, she revealed about her fitness journey. Posting a video of herself busy in a workout at a gym, she noted: I started my fitness journey a while back when my father passed away, and since then, I’ve resorted to fitness as my therapy. Being blessed enough to wake up every morning is the only motivation I need to get up and active. I workout for progress mentally and physically, not perfection! This summer is ours and every other summer after that.
