Thousands of people lined Market Street on Saturday for San Francisco’s fourth annual Juneteenth parade, marking the day in 1865 when enslaved Black Texans learned of their emancipation.
Floats from Black-led organizations, many draped in the colors of the Pan African flag, moved through the street alongside Black cowboys, a church choir, and a procession of classic cars.
The procession ended with a party at Embarcadero Plaza.
