WHAT IS
JUNETEENTH?
Juneteenth (short for “June Nineteenth”) marks the day when federal troops
arrived in Galveston, Texas in 1865 to take control of the state and ensure
that all enslaved people be freed. The troops’ arrival came a full two and
a half years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation.
Juneteenth marks an effective end to slavery in the United States and is
considered the longest-running African American holiday.
