Commemorating Juneteenth at Senate House In Kingston
For this drop-in activity, site staff will be making tea cakes in honor of Juneteenth. Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865, the day enslaved people were officially freed under the Emancipation Proclamation in Galveston, Texas, two years after the Proclamation was made. Tea cakes are a traditional pastry made on Juneteenth. Ingredients typically included molasses, lard, eggs, baking powder, and sometimes nutmeg or vanilla, depending on what was available. Juneteenth tea cakes offer a sweet way to honor this important day in American history. This family-friendly drop-in activity is free, weather-dependent and runs while supplies last.
