What is Juneteenth Holiday

Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, is a holiday celebrated in the United States commemorating the end of slavery in the country. In 1865, federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, to ensure that all enslaved individuals were set free.

While the Emancipation Proclamation was issued on January 1, 1863, it took over two years for the news of its issuance and its enforcement to reach all parts of the Confederacy.

Juneteenth became a federal holiday in 2021..
