Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom, resilience, and the long work of making America’s promises real for all.
On June 19, 1865, enslaved people in Galveston, Texas finally learned they were free, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.
Today, we honor that history, celebrate freedom, and recognize that liberty and justice must belong to everyone.
Happy Juneteenth!
