What is Juneteenth?

Juneteenth celebrates the freedom of enslaved Black Americans. After the Emancipation Proclamation, which only freed Black people enslaved in confederate states, was signed in 1863. It was not until June 19, 1865 that enslaved Black Americans in Galveston Texas received the message of freedom. Juneteenth is observed in the Black community to commemorate the freedom, achievement, a resilience of ALL Black American .
