Today we commemorate Juneteenth, a day that marks June 19, 1865, when the last enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, learned they were free—more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued. Juneteenth stands as a celebration of freedom, resilience, and the ongoing pursuit of equality.
