We celebrate Juneteenth to commemorate the emancipation of enslaved African Americans, marking the day on June 19, 1865, when Union soldiers brought news of freedom to enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation. This event is significant as it symbolizes the end of slavery in the United States and highlights Texas as the last Confederate state where enslaved people were freed. #txchron #galveston
