Juneteenth National Independence Day

History

Juneteenth marks June 19, 1865, when Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced that all enslaved people were free, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. The name joins "June" and "nineteenth". Black communities have celebrated it for generations, and it became a federal holiday on June 17, 2021.
