Juneteenth, also known as Emancipation Day, Freedom Day, and Jubilee Day, is observed on June 19 and commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. It marks the day in 1865 when enslaved people in Texas learned of their freedom, two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. The holiday celebrates African American history, resilience, and the ongoing pursuit of equality.
