Juneteenth is a monumental day in world history that marks slavery’s true end in the United States. It recognizes the June 19th, 1865, date when Union Soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas to declare freedom to those who remained enslaved. Although the Emancipation Proclamation was signed over two years prior to this historic event, slaves who were under Confederate control remained in bondage.
