Juneteenth Day - Juneteenth, or June 19th, is considered the date when the last enslaved people in America were freed. On June 19, 1865, Union soldiers finally arrived in Galveston, Texas, with news that the war had ended and that all enslaved people were now free. Today, Juneteenth commemorates African American freedom and emphasizes education and achievement.
How the Day Is Celebrated Today
Today, Juneteenth is more popular than ever before. Legislation was
introduced and it became a federal holiday in 2021, while institutions
such as the Henry Ford Museum and the Smithsonian sponsor their
own Juneteenth celebrations for the day. While we gather to
celebrate the initial emancipation, the modern celebration of
Juneteenth can take many forms. These include honoring the many
achievements of Black people across local and national
communities.
