On June 19, 1865, over two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued, news of freedom finally reached Galveston, Texas—freeing the last 250,000 enslaved people in the United States.

Juneteenth marks a powerful moment in history—a delayed but victorious declaration of liberty. Today, we celebrate the strength, resilience, and joy of our communities and we honor the journey toward freedom and justice for all.
