Today we celebrate Juneteenth, the day when enslaved African descended people in Texas were emancipated in 1865. The announcement of Freedom came for them later, but it came and for that we celebrate and continue the work that leads to true freedom for all. Happy Juneteenth!

The Historical Legacy of Juneteenth Juneteenth is an often overlooked event in our nation’s history. On June 19, 1865, Union troops freed enslaved African Americans in Galveston Bay and across Texas some two and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation.
