What is Juneteenth?
JUNETEENTH celebrates the emancipation of enslaved people in the United States in 1865.
President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation freeing enslaved people in 1863. Yet it took another 2-1/2 years before those enslaved in Texas were finally emancipated after the Civil War ended -- on June 19, 1865. The former slaves celebrated jubilantly, establishing Juneteenth, America's second Independence Day.
