Alveda King said Juneteenth celebrations should focus less on race and more on the “American dream.”

The niece of Martin Luther King, Jr. said jubilee should be connected with the Juneteenth federal holiday, which commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans on June 19, 1865.

“Juneteenth, it’s more of a spiritual kind of an impact and it brings balance into what is happening in America through the years. Juneteenth also, although it is celebratory, gives us a little hint of jubilee, of healing, of coming together,” King told Fox & Friends First. 

“We remember that there are people throughout America’s history who are abolitionists, who believe in the American dream and want all of us to remember that we are created in the image and likeness of God, and that we are equal, so celebrating that freedom.”

“In a few days we are going to do July Fourth, as well,” she added. “So we just remember that there have been terrible times in our nation, but there are times that America has come together as well.”

King added that her uncle’s dream was to unify people.

“My uncle Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said he had a dream and it is rooted in the American dream. So all those things that divide us will not help us. I would say on Juneteenth, let’s remember the things that do unite us, bring us together as brothers and sisters,” King said.

“We are one blood, one human race, we are not separate races, not divided by skin color and other issues,” she continued. “So, if we can remember that, we can begin to come together and be healing.”

Juneteenth become a national holiday in 2022. Texas became the first state to make it a holiday in 1980.
