Juneteenth – also known as Freedom Day, Jubilee Day, Liberation Day, and Emancipation Day – is a holiday celebrating the emancipation of those who had been enslaved in the United States.

We are celebrating the rich food traditions of Juneteenth, and sharing some plant-based takes on traditional Juneteenth recipes.
