The Oklahoma Juneteenth Historical Foundation is a non-profit organization based in Muskogee, Oklahoma. The foundation is dedicated to preserving and promoting the history and culture of African Americans in Oklahoma, particularly the celebration of Juneteenth.

Juneteenth is a holiday that commemorates the abolition of slavery in the United States. It marks the day when Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, on June 19, 1865, to announce that the Civil War had ended and all enslaved people were now free. Juneteenth has been celebrated in African American communities across the country for over 150 years.

The Oklahoma Juneteenth Historical Foundation was founded in 1995 by a group of community leaders who wanted to ensure that the history and significance of Juneteenth were not forgotten. The foundation sponsors a variety of educational and cultural events throughout the year, including an annual Juneteenth celebration in Muskogee.

The foundation also maintains a museum and cultural center in Muskogee that houses exhibits and artifacts related to African American history in Oklahoma. The center offers educational programs and workshops for people of all ages to learn about the contributions of African Americans to Oklahoma's history and culture.

Overall, the Oklahoma Juneteenth Historical Foundation is an important resource for preserving and promoting the history and culture of African Americans in Oklahoma and celebrating the significance of Juneteenth.
