Update

Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day or Emancipation Day, commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans in the United States. It marks the day on June 19, 1865, when Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, to announce the end of slavery, two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued. Juneteenth represents a significant moment in American history, symbolizing freedom, equality, and the ongoing struggle for civil rights. It is a day to reflect on the legacy of slavery, honor the resilience and contributions of African Americans, and continue the pursuit of racial justice and equality for all.
