Also known as Freedom Day, Juneteenth became a federal holiday in 2021. It has long been celebrated in Texas where the State declared a holiday to commemorate when enslaved Black people in Galveston, Texas were finally informed that slavery had ended in the United States on June 19, 1865—two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued in 1863.

Juneteenth is a day of both festivity and reflection—celebrating the joy of freedom achieved while acknowledging the long and ongoing struggle for full equality. We recognize that building inclusive communities where everyone can thrive is vital work that continues today.⁠
⁠
In commemorating Juneteenth, we honor the resilience, strength and contributions of the Black community, and we recommit ourselves to addressing systemic barriers and creating pathways to opportunity for a more equitable future for all.
