Juneteenth: The Story Behind the Holiday
Juneteenth, celebrated on June 19th, commemorates the arrival of Union troops in Galveston, Texas, in 1865 to enforce the Emancipation Proclamation. Although issued in 1863, word of freedom spread slowly, with enslaved people learning through informal networks and Black community groups. The holiday marks the day freedom became a tangible reality for many.
