About Juneteenth 
Juneteenth, officially Juneteenth National Independence Day, is a federal holiday celebrated on June 19 that commemorates the effective end of slavery in the United States. It specifically marks the day in 1865 when enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, were finally informed of their freedom, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued.
