Juneteenth is a U.S. holiday that commemorates the end of slavery in the United States.
It marks June 19, 1865, the day when Union soldiers arrived in Galveston and announced that enslaved African Americans in Texas were free—more than two years after Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation.
Why is it called Juneteenth?
The name combines “June” and “nineteenth”, the date the announcement was made.

* Freedom and emancipation from slavery
