Juneteenth is a commemoration of June 19, 1865, when enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, were informed of their freedom, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.

The event celebrated the day in 1865 when Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, to announce the freedom of enslaved people, two years after President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation.
