On June 19, people across the country come together to celebrate and honor the historical significance of Juneteenth. While its roots go back more than a century, Juneteenth is the nation’s youngest federal holiday, officially designated as such in 2021.
The holiday marks June 19, 1865, the day Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, and publicly announced freedom for enslaved people in Texas, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.
