Culture

Juneteenth, shortened from "June Nineteenth," is a federal holiday that commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. Celebrated on June 19, it honors the anniversary of the day in 1865 when Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, to announce that the last enslaved people in the state were free. Widely observed as an African American holiday, Juneteenth marks the end of slavery in the United States.
