Juneteenth, celebrated on June 19th, marks the day in 1865 when the last enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas were informed of their freedom more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.

Many enslaved people in the South were unaware of their freedom due to lack of enforcement. General Gordon Granger delivered the long-overdue news, on June 19, 1865, officially freeing the last remaining enslaved African Americans in the U.S.

Juneteenth became a symbol of Black freedom and resilience, commemorated with celebrations, reflection, education, and community gatherings.
It’s a powerful reminder of the ongoing struggle for justice and a celebration of Black freedom, resilience, and culture.
