JUNETEENTH - Freedom Day

June 19, 2025

Juneteenth is a federal holiday in the United States. It is celebrated annually on June 19 to commemorate the ending of slavery in the United States. The holiday's name, first used in the 1890s, is a portmanteau of the words "June" and "nineteenth", referring to June 19, 1865, the day when Major General Gordon Granger ordered the final enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation in Texas at the end of the American Civil War. The holiday is considered the "longest-running African-American holiday"^[12] and has been called "America's second Independence Day".^[13]^[14] Juneteenth falls on June 19 and has often been celebrated on the third Saturday in June.
