Juneteenth History

Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, Jubilee Day, Emancipation Day, or Liberation Day, marks the anniversary of the end of slavery in the United States. On June 19, 1865, Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced that all slaves were free. This news came more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed.
