Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, Jubilee Day, and Liberation Day, refers to the holiday celebrated on June 19th. It marks the anniversary of the June 19, 1865 announcement by Union Army General Gordon Granger, proclaiming freedom for enslaved African Americans in Texas. This occurred over two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed by President Abraham Lincoln. Juneteenth has since become an annual celebration of emancipation and an important event in African American heritage and culture. In recent years, there have been increased efforts to recognize Juneteenth as a federal holiday in the United States.
