As its name implies, Juneteenth (a combination of June and nineteenth) is celebrated on June 19. The holiday, which celebrates the end of slavery, was officially recognized as a federal holiday in 2021.
Although slaves had been formally freed by the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, it didn't apply to those in states under Confederate control. On June 19, 1865, two months after the Civil War ended, Major General Gordon Granger rode into Galveston, Texas with a decree to free enslaved people. The streets erupted with song, dance, and cheer–and Juneteenth was born.
Today is a reminder that we need to study and remember history, not erase it.
