Juneteenth commemorates the day enslaved people in Texas learned they were free, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation had been issued.
It is a day to honor freedom, reflect on history, and recognize the resilience, contributions, and achievements of Black Americans across generations.
Today, we pause in remembrance of the past and in recognition of the ongoing importance of dignity, equality, and opportunity for all.
