Juneteenth is a remembrance of the ending of slavery in the United States. It dates back to June 19, 1865, two and a half years after President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation. It was on this day that the Union soldiers arrived at Galveston, Texas with the news that the war had ended and that the slaves had been freed.
