About Juneteenth

Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865, the day enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas learned of their freedom—more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued. Today, Juneteenth is recognized as a celebration of freedom, perseverance, culture, and the ongoing pursuit of equality.
