Juneteenth
Juneteenth marks the date in 1865 when Union troops reached Galveston Bay, Texas, to inform the enslaved African-Americans there that they, along with the more than 250,000 other enslaved Black people in the state, were freed by the Emancipation Proclamation.
Texas and many southern states celebrated the anniversary of the event the following year. The holiday also referred to as “Juneteenth Independence Day,” “Freedom Day” or “Emancipation Day” received renewed interest recently. Texas declared the day a state holiday in 1980. All 50 states and the Federal government now recognize Juneteenth. 10 Books for Adults, Teens, and Kids to Celebrate Juneteenth
