For the sixth year in a row, the Juneteenth flag is flying high above Wisconsin’s Capitol. Gov. Tony Evers says it’s a symbol of freedom—and a reminder that the fight for equity and justice is far from over.
He also proclaimed June 19 as Juneteenth across the state, calling on the people of Wisconsin to reflect, celebrate, and recommit to building a better future for everyone.
Juneteenth celebrates the end of slavery in the U.S. It marks June 19, 1865, when the last enslaved people in Texas learned they were free—over two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.
Attendee’s sang along to “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” known as the Black National Anthem. It’s a powerful hymn that represents hope, unity, and the ongoing fight for justice and equality in America.

Capitol? Packed. Protest? Peaceful. Message? LOUD🚫👑 The people of Wisconsin showed up in force in Madison for ‘No Kings Day.’ An estimated 15,000 people marched from Library Mall to the Wisconsin State Capitol on Saturday, filling the streets with signs and chants.
The protest was part of a nationwide movement in response to President Trump's authoritarianism.
The protests remained civil and peaceful, with city police reporting just three arrests in relation to minor vandalism.
