JUNE CALENDAR
JUNE 19th
Juneteenth, celebrated on June 19th, commemorates the emancipation of enslaved people in the United States. It marks the day in 1865 when Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and declared that enslaved people were free under the Emancipation Proclamation. The holiday is a significant event for Black Americans, representing both the end of slavery and a moment of liberation. Juneteenth became a national holiday in 2021. Before that, it was already a widely celebrated holiday in many states, often with local traditions and events. The recognition of Juneteenth as a federal holiday is a testament to the ongoing struggle for racial equality and justice in the United States.
