Juneteenth is short for June Nineteenth, and is celebrated on the nineteenth of June every year! The Juneteenth holiday commemorates the day that news of emancipation reached Galveston, Texas in 1865- two and a half years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. Juneteenth was originally celebrated in Texas, but has become a widespread tradition in the United States. Juneteenth became an official federal holiday on June 17th, 2021.
