About the Event
Juneteenth,  also  known  as  Freedom  Day  or  Emancipation  Day.  It  is  observed  as  a public  holiday  in  14  U.S.  states.  This  celebration  honors  the  day  in  1865  when  slaves  in Texas  and  Louisiana  finally  heard  they  were  free,  two  months  after  the  end  of  the  Civil  War. June  19,  therefore,  became  the  day  of  emancipation  for  thousands  of  African-Americans.Â
