Juneteenth: Celebrating Freedom in the United States
On June 19, 1865, Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, proclaiming the freedom of enslaved African Americans in the state. This announcement came two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation. Juneteenth, a portmanteau of "June" and "nineteenth," commemorates this pivotal day, marking the effective end of slavery in the Confederacy and serving as a day of remembrance, celebration, and education across the United States.
