Juneteenth, observed annually on June 19, commemorates the day when enslaved Black Americans in Galveston, Texas, finally learned of their freedom on June 19, 1865, two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. It is considered the longest-running African American holiday and officially became a federal holiday on June 17, 2021.
