Juneteenth is an important holiday in American history. It honors the day in 1865 when enslaved people in Texas found out they were free. This day marked a major milestone on the path to ending slavery throughout the U.S. On June 19, 1865, Major General Gordon Granger of the Union army arrived in Galveston, Texas. He informed the enslaved people of Texas about the Emancipation Proclamation. The Emancipation Proclamation was a speech made by President Abraham Lincoln two years earlier, on January 1, 1863. It stated that enslaved people in many of the southern states were now free. President Lincoln gave this speech during the height of the Civil War. But by the time the Union soldiers made it to Texas, the Civil War had ended. It took over two years for this message to reach the people still enslaved in Texas! More than 250,000 people celebrated their newfound freedom on June 19. Soon after, many of these freed people decided to migrate to northern states to start a new life. But they continued to celebrate Juneteenth year after year and to share this holiday with their community. In 1872, a group of formerly enslaved people raised money to buy 10 acres of land near Houston, Texas. They named this land ‘Emancipation Park’. To this day, many Americans celebrate Juneteenth in this park to remember their history. Texas also holds a special parade to celebrate this day. Thousands of people participate and enjoy learning and celebrating African American culture and history. They fly the Juneteenth flag. The Juneteenth flag has a white star that symbolizes freedom and new hope for African Americans. Juneteenth is a day to remember the triumphs and struggles of African Americans. Even though enslaved people in Texas learned of their freedom on Juneteenth, they still faced violence, discrimination and inequality. That is why Juneteenth celebrations are so important to many Americans. Juneteenth recognizes the hardships of gaining freedom and the importance of remembering Black history in the United States.
