It's a celebration which marks an American milestone and dates back to 1865. The Juneteenth Celebration commemorates the end of slavery in the U.S. and this weekend at Kapiolani Park you'll be able to take part in the multi-cultural party.

Here with us this morning from the Hawaii NAACP is Alphonso Braggs and Jewel McDonald.

Alphonso tells us about the history of Juneteenth and the end of slavery and Jewel tells us of the wonderful food and entertainment that will be playing on Saturday.

And we have "The Answer" playing in studio.
