Juneteenth isn't just a celebration—it calls us to remember, reflect, and rise. These 10 powerful speeches, past and present, still speak loudly about freedom, justice, and equality.
Juneteenth marks the end of slavery in the United States. On June 19, 1865, Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced that the last enslaved people were free. This news came more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. Freedom finally reached those who had lived in bondage and darkness. People named that day Juneteenth.
Juneteenth means more than a date—it symbolizes delayed justice and enduring hope. For generations, Black communities have honored Juneteenth with parades, music, and speeches. Leaders, artists, and activists capture the emotion, struggle, and pride of a people who refuse to be erased. They use their voices every year to keep the spirit of Juneteenth alive.
Historic giants gave some of these speeches. Frederick Douglass exposed American hypocrisy in his Fourth of July address. Malcolm X challenged systemic injustice with 'The Ballot or the Bullet.' Maya Angelou shared poetry revealing the pain and beauty of Black identity.
Modern icons gave others. President Obama reflected on Juneteenth's meaning during a year of protest. Opal Lee, the 'Grandmother of Juneteenth,' fought tirelessly to make it a national holiday. Beyoncé and Amanda Gorman bring art and activism to new generations.
These voices demand to be heard—now more than ever. People echo their messages in classrooms, rallies, and social feeds. Juneteenth reminds us that we must know, feel, and protect freedom.
Some speeches directly address Juneteenth. Others focus on racial justice and equality more broadly. Together, they help us understand the ongoing fight for Black liberation and the true meaning of Juneteenth beyond the holiday.

Diddy trial updates: Alleged 'drug mule' Brendan Paul recalls private jet arrest
This story contains graphic descriptions that some readers may find disturbing. Court is back in session in Sean "Diddy" Combs' criminal trial after an unexpected two-day break. Following an abrupt adjournment on June 18 due to a juror's health issues and the immediately following Juneteenth holiday on June 19, the embattled hip-hop mogul returned to Manhattan federal court on June 20 for the tail end of the prosecution's witnesses. Combs' former assistant Brendan Paul took the stand June 20. The 26-year-old former Syracuse University basketball player and alleged "drug mule" previously faced felony charges for drug possession when he was arrested on the same day as the raids of Combs' homes, but the case was later closed. Paul's testimony comes after prosecutors on June 17 revealed personal messages between Combs, his girlfriends and his associates and also showed jurors around 20 minutes of what appeared to be video footage created between 2012 and 2014 of Combs' "freak offs." U.S. attorneys were expected to rest their case on June 20; the day's proceedings will reveal whether that schedule changes. Combs, 55, was arrested in September and charged with sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has pleaded not guilty. Diddy on trial newsletter: Step inside the courtroom as music mogul faces sex-crimes charges. Paul's employment ended in March 2024, he said. He was on a private jet with Kristina "KK" Khorram and Combs headed for the Bahamas, when he got arrested for cocaine possession. On the stand, Paul testified that this was just cocaine he had forgotten in his bag when he went to the airport. It was 0.7 grams, he said, which Steel characterized as for "personal use as best." The cocaine was for Combs. "It was a mistake, right?" Steel said, to which Paul responded, "Correct," explaining neither Khorram nor Combs had asked him to bring the drugs that day, he had just forgotten them. Steel seemed to make the suggestion that hard drugs made Combs more creative, happy and productive, and that it was in some ways beneficial to his process. "He got extremely creative. It was just an explosion," the attorney said. "You were not some drug mule, am I right?" Brian Steel, a defense lawyer for Combs, asked during cross-examination, to which Paul responded: "Absolutely not." Asked by Steel what he understood a drug mule to be, Paul said: "Someone who traffics kilos and kilos across the world." Steel then suggested that the amount of drugs Combs used was minimal. "This was just personal use?" he asked, to which Paul responded: "Yes, that was my understanding." Asked whether he ever observed Combs' ex-girlfriend Jane Doe, being hesitant or apprehensive before a "freak off." Paul responded no, confirming Steel's assertion that the woman, who is using a pseudonym for the trial, was "a willing participant." "You would not work for a criminal, would you?" Steel asked, to which Paul responded: "Absolutely not." "You never thought the 'king night' involved anything that was criminal?" Steel pushed further, referencing another name for the "freak off" sex parties that have taken a central role in the trial. Earlier in Paul's testimony, he described the large team that Combs employed as an enterprise. Steel asked during cross-examination: "You're not saying a criminal enterprise?" and Paul responded no. Discover WITNESS: Access our exclusive collection of true crime stories, podcasts, videos and more In testimony that took less than 2 hours, Paul, an alleged "drug mule" for Combs, took the stand to recount his employment with the music mogul. Paul graduated in 2022 from Syracuse and was hired as Combs' personal assistant shortly after. Another former assistant had told him to get in to get out and to make good connections, but that it would be a very tumultuous job, Paul told jurors. The assistant told Paul if he had a girlfriend to break up with her, and that he would never see his family, but it would be worth it for the connections. Paul's duties included making Combs' meal plans, coordinating workouts, packing "a lot of joints" and making sure he was on time for things like flights. Paul said he usually worked between 80 and 100 hours a week, but was always on call. He started at $76,000 a year, but by the time his employment was over, he was making $100,000 a year, Paul told jurors. Asked about procuring drugs for Combs, Paul said he did it more than five times but less than 10. He observed Combs doing cocaine, ketamine, marijuana and ecstasy, but not all that often, he said, and verified that he had arranged and cleaned up after "hotel nights" but only a few times. In February 2024, music producer and Combs' collaborator Rodney "Lil Rod" Jones Jr. mentioned Paul in his civil lawsuit against Combs that alleged sexual assault and harassment. On the afternoon of March 25, 2024 — the same day Combs' homes were raided in Miami and Los Angeles — Paul was arrested by local police at the Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport. Per an arrest affidavit obtained by USA TODAY at the time, Florida prosecutors leveled two felony charges of possession of a controlled substance against him, alleging he'd packed cocaine and marijuana-laced candy in his luggage. "Brendan Paul: Works as Mr. Combs' Mule," Jones' lawsuit said, adding two photos of Paul and Combs together for reference. Jones claimed Paul allegedly "procured, transported and distributed" drugs including ecstasy, cocaine, GHB, ketamine, marijuana and mushrooms. Jones also said Paul would acquire and distribute guns for Combs and "negotiate the fees the sex workers received and would ensure that the workers are paid" on Combs' Dec. 17, 2024, prosecutors declined to proceed with the one outstanding charge of cocaine possession, and the case was closed. Paul had "completed a pre-trial diversion course sometimes offered for first-time offenders," his attorney told USA TODAY at the time. Combs' sex-trafficking trial unexpectedly adjourned on June 18 due to a juror's health. Judge Arun Subramanian excused the jury in Combs' trial after a juror reported vertigo-like symptoms on the way into court. The trial was already scheduled to take a brief recess on June 19 in observance of the Juneteenth holiday before returning June 20. The videos were shown in three to four-minute increments on June 17. Jurors were all wearing earphones, and the monitors that had been used during testimony were cut off to the courtroom gallery. At one point, the gallery could hear the faint sound of heavy breathing, and the judge reminded jurors to make sure that their headphones were fully on because the microphone feed appeared to be picking up the video. Throughout the roughly 20 minutes of footage, DeLeassa Penland, a special agent for the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, looked uncomfortable on the stand and at one point appeared to close her eyes and wince. Phone and text records unveiled June 17 showed Combs pleaded with former girlfriend Casandra "Cassie" Ventura Fine to return to the Los Angeles-area hotel where surveillance footage captured him attacking her in a hallway. "I went and checked everything and spoke to security. Jules left so you're good and as long as you don't disturb the other guests, they'll leave you be," Ventura Fine texted him, referring to a sex worker they hired for an alleged "freak off." "I am about to be arrested," Combs texted Ventura Fine after she left the hotel, saying police were at the building. Records showed he called her five times in 22 minutes, but there's no evidence law enforcement was involved in the incident. While 50 Cent hasn't been announced as a witness in Combs' trial, the rapper is looking to give President Donald Trump his two cents on the legal matter. In an Instagram post on May 30, the "In da Club" emcee said he would reach out to Trump after the president said he would "look at the facts" in Combs' case, suggesting a pardon could be on the table. The rapper shared a clip of the president's comments in his post and wrote that Combs "said some really bad things about Trump," adding that he will "reach out so he knows how I feel about this guy." Despite videos circulating online, which appear to show artificially generated court sketches of Eddie Murphy testifying at the Combs trial, the actor hasn't been in the courtroom and isn't expected to be called as a witness. While a specter of celebrity hangs heavy over the proceedings, many of the big names roped in have merely been name-drops from the stand by lesser-known witnesses from Combs' inner circle. The only true "celebrities" to testify thus far have been Casandra "Cassie" Ventura Fine, Kid Cudi and Danity Kane singer Dawn Richard. Combs is facing federal sex-crimes and trafficking charges in a sprawling case that has eroded his status as a power player and kingmaker in the entertainment industry. He was arrested in September 2024 and later charged with racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution. The rapper has pleaded not guilty to the five counts against him. Racketeering is the participation in an illegal scheme under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Statute, or RICO, as a way for the U.S. government to prosecute organizations that contribute to criminal activity. Using RICO law, which is typically aimed at targeting multi-person criminal organizations, prosecutors allege that Combs coerced victims, some of whom they say were sex workers, through intimidation and narcotics to participate in "freak offs" — sometimes days-long sex performances that federal prosecutors allege they have on video. The trial will not be televised, as cameras are typically not allowed in federal criminal trial proceedings. USA TODAY will be reporting live from the courtroom.

Pitti Uomo: Fashion Expert Derek Guy on How Menswear Has Loosened Up
Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. The ubiquity of slim-cut men's tailoring appears to be dwindling, as the styles showcased at June's Pitti Immagine Uomo 108 trade fair in Florence, Italy—and worn by the well-dressed denizens of fashion who flocked there—suggested. "The major change, and I think the one that's obvious, is that men's tailoring and clothing in general is loosening up again," fashion blogger Derek Guy—the internet's "menswear guy"—told Newsweek. "So, after 20 years of slim-fit silhouettes, things are starting to loosen up." Models attend The Hilfiger Social Club during Pitti Immagine Uomo 108 at Palazzo Portinari Salviati on June 17, 2025 in Larciano, Firenze, Italy.

D'Alessandro/Getty "If you go back 15 years ago, among the men who wore ready-to-wear suits, their tailoring was often very trim, keeping with the time," Guy continued. "And slouch shirt tailoring, extended shoulders, wider trousers, so and so forth." But just because these looser styles are in vogue, it's not a fashion requisite. The best way to express yourself through clothing, as Guy put it, is to focus on your personal aesthetic preferences and try to emulate that. "I think of clothing as social language. So, to me, just because the trend is shifting toward looser silhouettes doesn't necessarily mean you have to," Guy said. "Part of this is just about building your visual vocabulary and going through cultural history and understanding how people create certain looks—to understand how you can use that visual language today."

‘Ode to 'Dena' at CAAM explores the legacy of Black artists in Altadena: L.A. arts and culture this weekend
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is in its final month of debris removal in Altadena. It has already cleared thousands of properties destroyed in January's devastating Eaton fire and is working on the toxic ash and refuse that remains. Once the immediacy of that task fades, years of accounting for the neighborhood's many losses lie ahead, as does the ongoing rebuilding. The California African American Museum is contributing to that work with 'Ode to 'Dena: Black Artistic Legacies of Altadena,' an exhibition on view through Oct. 12. The exhibition — organized in just three months in response to the fire — is curated by Dominique Gallery founder Dominique Clayton. It seeks to illustrate the importance of the unincorporated foothill community to Black artists including midcentury figures like Charles White, as well as contemporary practitioners including Martine Syms and Kenturah Davis. Between 1910 and 1970, approximately 6 million Black Americans migrated from the South to other parts of the U.S.. In Southern California, Altadena became an attractive place for Black families to settle. The area didn't participate in the redlining practices of other neighborhoods, making it a relatively welcoming place. Many of those residents were artists and musicians, including the famed assemblage artist and former director of the Watts Towers Arts Center, John Outterbridge, whose home and studio burned in the fire. (Outterbridge died in 2020.) In an online description of the 'Ode to 'Dena' exhibition, CAAM notes that Altadena was 'hailed as the epicenter of Black arts activity in Los Angeles County,' during the 1950s and '60s, although that artistic center of gravity later shifted toward Watts after the 1965 Watts Rebellion. Nonetheless, CAAM notes, 'Altadena continued to develop as a vibrant and creative haven with a distinctive Black cultural imprint. Since then, Altadena and the adjacent city of Pasadena have served as home to an extraordinary array of Black artists, educators, musicians, intellectuals, entrepreneurs, and activists.' In addition to Outterbridge, White, Syms and Davis, the CAAM exhibit includes work by Betye Saar, Richmond Barthé, Mark Steven Greenfield, Nikki High, Bennie Maupin, Marcus Leslie Singleton, La Monte Westmoreland and Keni 'Arts' Davis. The Times' Noah Goldberg wrote a feature on Davis after the Eaton fire — highlighting how the retired 75-year-old Hollywood set painter spent 40 years creating watercolors of his beloved neighborhood. After the destruction, he began painting the wreckage. For more information on CAAM and the exhibition, click here.

The drama surrounding President Trump's purported firing of National Portrait Gallery Director Kim Sajet reached a conclusion last week when Sajet decided to step down on her own terms. 'It has been the honor of a lifetime to lead the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery. This was not an easy decision, but I believe it is the right one,' Sajet wrote in a note to staff shared in an email by the Smithsonian Institution's leader, Lonnie Bunch. Sajet's announcement came two weeks after Trump claimed to have fired her for being, 'a highly partisan person, and a strong supporter of DEI.' About a week later, the Smithsonian Institution released a statement asserting its independence in the face of Trump's order, but that seems to not have been enough to persuade Sajet to stay. The work of Seattle-born, L.A.-based artist Noah Davis — who died of a rare form of liposarcoma at the the age of 32 — is the subject of Times art critic Christopher Knight's latest review. The Hammer Museum is staging a retrospective of Davis' paintings. It's only composed of about three dozen pieces, but Knight says it's more than enough to show that 'when Davis was good, he was very good indeed.' It is clear, Knight notes, that had his life not been cut tragically short, Davis was well on his way to further accomplishment. 'The show affirms his gift for what it was: Davis was a painter's painter, a deeply thoughtful and idiosyncratic Black voice heard by other artists and aficionados, even as his work was in invigorating development,' Knight writes. The 2025 Ojai Music Festival was one of the best, writes Times classical music critic Mark Swed, of the annual event in the bucolic Ventura County town. Founded nearly 80 years ago by an East Coast music lover named John Leopold Jergens Bauer, the event was originally meant to be California's answer to the Salzburg Festival. That aspiration never quite came to pass, but over the years the progressive gathering staged mostly at the Libbey Bowl has come to embody a groundbreaking ideal of new music. This year's music director was the flutist Claire Chase, who, according to Swed, 'collected concerned composers on a quest for a kind of eco-sonics capable of conjuring up the pleasure of nature and, in the process, saving our sanity.' Last Saturday, Esa-Pekka Salonen, 'conducted his San Francisco Symphony in a staggering performance of Mahler's Symphony No. 2, known as the 'Resurrection.' It was a ferocious performance and an exalted one of gripping intensity,' Swed wrote in a glowing review of the legendary conductor's final show with the troubled orchestra he opted to leave when he decided not to renew his contact after five years of serving as its music director. 'The audience responded with a stunned and tumultuous standing ovation,' Swed notes. Times reporter Kailyn Brown headed to the Music Center on Sunday — a day after the city's massive 'No Kings' protests — to talk to audience members who attended L.A. Opera's 'Rigoletto' and Center Theater Group's 'Hamlet' despite the recent tumult and nighttime curfew in downtown L.A. In a series of interviews, accompanied by smiling photos, Brown's reporting shows what many Angelenos have been trying to tell friends and family outside of the city: It's not as bad as it may seem on your social media feeds. Downtown L.A. is more or less back to normal. And besides: It's never a bad idea to show up in support of the arts. CAP UCLA announced its 2025-26 season — its second under its new Executive and Artistic Director Edgar Miramontes. This season's offerings include 30 performances featuring more than 100 international artists. 'As borders become more intensified, Miramontes is committed to continued international exchange of ideas and learnings to encourage more empathy, connection, and shared understanding through presentations by acclaimed artists from around the world, spanning genre-defying jazz, Afro-Latin fusion, 21st-century classical music, and exciting new works in dance and theater,' the season release explains. Shows include: the Mexican collective Lagartijas Tiradas al Sol; basoonist and composer Joy Guidry; the jazz singer Lucía; trumpeter and composer Milena Casado; and Cuban musicians Alfredo Rodriguez and Pedrito Martínez, along with many others. 'This season is more than a series of performances — it is a call to community,' Miramontes wrote in a note to patrons. 'Exciting new theater, revolutionary music, and dance remind us that unity is not an ideal — it is an act. The stage becomes our platform, our laboratory, our refuge. Here, we witness. We reckon. We rejoice.' For tickets and the full schedule, click here. Playwright Michael Shayan has released a new Audible Original play titled 'Cruising.'

The comedy follows an aspiring gay playwright who — suffering from a summer of writer's block and apathy in his Encino apartment — embarks on a flamboyant cruise in his imagination, only to discover that his real life is falling apart around him. 'Cruising' features the voices of Christine Baranski, Tituss Burgess, Cecily Strong, André de Shields and Andrew Rannells, and can be streamed here. Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra announced its 2025-26 season, which continues this year at the Wallis in the Bram Goldsmith Theater. Offerings include a concert of classics led by Music Director Jaime Martín, featuring the German French cellist Nicolas Altstaedt; guest conductor Dinis Sousa with German violinist Isabelle Faust; violinist Anthony Marwood; pianist Richard Goode playing Mozart; a Brahms concert; a Baroque salon featuring harpsichordist Pierre Hantaï; and a performance by soprano Amanda Forsythe.
