About JUNETEENTH Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day and Jubilee, commemorates the end of enslavement in America. On June 19, 1865, Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas to inform the enslaved of their freedom as decreed by President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation of January 1, 1863, which freed enslaved people from Confederate states. Presently, many states recognize Juneteenth as a holiday; however, it is not federally recognized. Juneteenth celebrations focus on bringing families together, as well as a day to reflect on America's past while working toward a unified future.
