What is Juneteenth? Juneteenth combines “June” and “nineteenth.” It’s also known as Freedom Day, Jubilee Day, and Emancipation Day.
In 1863, President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation officially ending slavery. However, the practice still remained in some parts of the country that did not receive the news. It wasn’t until June 19, 1865, that the news regarding the end of the Civil War and the abolishment of slavery made it to the enslaved people in Galveston, Texas. Celebrations throughout the newly free Black community followed, which in time became an annual tradition across the United States.
Juneteenth is a time to gather with family and community, honor the present, and reflect on shared history and tradition.
Discover the tastes, sounds, and experiences of this African American cultural tradition. Discover the history of Juneteenth by learning about traditions, celebrations, and Black freedom fighters.
Connect your Juneteenth knowledge to celebrations and social justice movements in your community.
Take Action with your newfound knowledge of the Juneteenth holiday to show your support for freedom and racial justice.
