Juneteenth: Freedom Day

June 19th, known as Juneteenth, is a celebration of the emancipation of enslaved African Americans in the Confederacy. Although the Emancipation Proclamation went into effect January 1, 1863, it took over two years for that news to travel to Galveston Island, Texas. Thus June 19th is also known as Freedom Day or the U.S.’s 2nd Independence Day. Its observation provides us with an opportunity to reflect on our history and its continued impacts on our present and future.
