ALT What is Juneteenth?
ALT What is Juneteenth? The Emancipation Proclamation issued by President Abraham Lincoln on September 22, 1862, established that all enslaved people "shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free." But the proclamation didn't instantly free all slaves. It only applied to places under Confederate control, not slave-holding border states or rebel areas already under Union control. Texas didn't see large-scale fighting or have significant presence of Union troops. Many slave owners from outside of Texas even moved there with their slaves.
ALT What is Juneteenth? On June 19, 1865 almost two and a half years after President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas with federal orders. They proclaimed the emancipation of the last remaining enslaved people in Texas. Juneteeth marks a date of major significance in American history and represents the ways in which freedom for BIPOC have been delayed. It is a reminder that "nobody is free until everybody is free."
ALT What is Juneteenth? fforts to make Juneteenth an official federal holiday has fallen short in Congress. 47 states and the District of Columbia have passed legislation recognizing it as either a state holiday or day of observance. While Juneteenth is certainly a day of celebration, we encourage white people to plan some time for education and reflection on this day. That said, it is also a day to celebrate Black excellence! Remember it is just as important to support Black people in life as you support them in death or struggle.
