Why do we celebrate Juneteenth?
Juneteenth is celebrated as the day that marks the end of slavery in the United States.
It commemorates June 19, 1865, when Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced the freedom of all enslaved people in the state, following the Emancipation Proclamation issued by President Abraham Lincoln over two years earlier.
The proclamation had freed slaves in Confederate states, but enforcement required the presence of Union troops.
Known also as Freedom Day or Emancipation Day, Juneteenth is a celebration of African American culture and history. It’s a reminder of the long struggle for freedom and serves as an occasion to reflect on the ongoing pursuit of racial justice and equality.
