About Juneteenth: Juneteenth, also called Freedom Day or Emancipation Day, commemorates the ending of slavery in the United States in 1865, specifically when the news of the end of Civil War was shared with those still enslaved in Texas. Today, the day is celebrated with music, food and festivities that focus on self-improvement, education, and honoring the history of ancestors.
