Juneteenth, also called Emancipation Day, or Juneteenth Independence Day, is a holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the United States, observed annually on June 19. It was not until Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, on June 19, 1865, that the state’s residents finally learned that slavery had been abolished. The former slaves immediately began to celebrate with prayer, feasting, song, and dance. The following year, on June 19, the first official Juneteenth celebrations took place in Texas. Celebrations have continued across the United States into the 21st century and typically includeprayer and religious services, speeches, educational events, family gatherings and picnics, and festivals with music, food, and dancing. www.britannica.com/topic/Juneteenth ...
