Abstract

This research explores how public conversations surrounding Juneteenth have evolved over time by analyzing 10,000 tweets. Through annotation of sentiment, emotion, and topics, the project provides insight into how Juneteenth is celebrated, debated, and understood across diverse cultural and political contexts. The resulting dataset lays the groundwork for a machine learning model capable of identifying large-scale patterns in language, tone, and narrative.
