Tina Knowles-Lawson has partnered with Facebook to mark the annual observance of Juneteenth, commemorating the day 'federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas in 1865 to ensure all enslaved Black people be freed'.

Knowles-Lawson, mother of Beyoncé and Solange Knowles, stars in a video explaining 'how the holiday played an important role in shaping her family's lives and ways for younger generations of Black Americans to embrace Juneteenth', launched through Facebook's Lift Black Voices Hub, which aims to 'elevate stories of the Black experience with freedom in [the US], while sharing the community's collective strength, tenacity and love'.
