Juneteenth Celebration
Juneteenth, celebrated annually on June 19, is the national commemoration of the ending of slavery in the U.S.
Originating in Galveston, Texas, in 1865, it marks the date when word of Abraham Lincoln’s signing of the Emancipation Proclamation — which had been signed two years prior and freed all enslaved people — made its way to Texas. A combination of the words “June” and “Nineteenth,” Juneteenth was first made an official Texas state holiday in 1979, but since then, people have begun to honor the day (also called Emancipation Day) all around the United States.
Juneteenth is a day to celebrate the liberation of people who were slaves in our country and is meant for self-reflection, understanding the truths of the past, and the realities of present.
