Juneteenth became a federal holiday in 2021, but it has a far greater, 160-year historical legacy as an annual celebration. Also known as Freedom Day, Juneteenth commemorates the day when federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas in 1865 to ensure that all enslaved people be freed, over two years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation.

Today's holiday is rooted in African American history and community traditions, and provides an opportunity and understanding for the ongoing fight for human rights and equality.
