Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of African American freedom and emphasizes education and achievement in the United States. On June 19, 1865, Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas to announce that the Civil War was over and that the enslaved were to be freed. This event is created to inform and educate the community about an incredibly important moment in U.S. history that is often forgotten and left uncelebrated.
