Juneteenth (short for “June Nineteenth”) marks the day when federal troops arrived in Galveston,TX in 1865 to take control of the state and ensure that all enslaved people be freed.

Juneteenth honors the end to slavery in the United States and is considered the longest-running African American holiday. On June 17, 2021, it officially became a federal holiday.
