June 19, 1865: Juneteenth marks the day when enslaved African Americans in Texas finally learned they were free, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.
Today, we commemorate Juneteenth as a powerful reminder of freedom, resilience, and the ongoing journey toward equality. It’s a time to reflect, honor Black history and culture, and continue working toward a more just future for everyone.
