Houston came together for the Juneteenth Parade in a celebration of freedom, history, and community. With deep roots in Emancipation Park and Houston’s historic Black neighborhoods like Acres Homes, this tradition continues to bring people together in remembrance, pride, and joy.

Today is Captain Andrew Roseborough and Dr. Jyothi Lagisetty Day in Houston. In April, the couple was touring the Teotihuacan pyramids when a gunman opened fire. When it stopped, they ran toward the calls for help, treating two shooting victims until help arrived. #HoustonFire
