National Juneteenth Museum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The National Juneteenth Museum is a planned museum in Fort Worth in Texas.[1] Designs for the museum were unveiled in June 2022. The museum will be designed by KAI Enterprises and the design studio BIG.[1] The museum commemorates Juneteenth, the emancipation of enslaved African Americans, marked by a federal holiday in the United States on 19 June.[1] Fort Worth activist Opal Lee, also known as "the Grandmother of Juneteenth" is set to lead the museum initiative.[2]
The museum is planned for the Historic Southside district of Fort Worth in Texas.[1] Construction on the museum was due to start in 2023,[1] but as of June 2025[update], it had not broken ground.[3]
