Juneteenth: A Brief History

Juneteenth is an annual celebration on June 19 marking the end of slavery in the United States. Though the Emancipation Proclamation took effect in 1863, freedom would not come for many enslaved African Americans until years later.

Juneteenth was made an official U.S. federal holiday yesterday.
