 Juneteenth (commemoration of the Emancipation Proclamation) is celebrated on May 20 of each year, at the Knott House (run by the Museum of Florida History), where the proclamation was read on May 20, 1865.Tallahassee is the location of the John G. Riley Center/Museum of African American History & Culture (John Gilmore Riley House), and the Carrie Meek and James N. Eaton, Sr., Southeastern Regional Black Archives Research Center and Museum.Like other Southern cities, Tallahassee was segregated from the end of Reconstruction until the early 1970s; the closing of the underfunded Florida A&M Hospital in 1971 is a good marking point for the end of segregation in Tallahassee.
