Juneteenth – a U.S. federal holiday celebrating the end of slavery in Texas on June 19, 1865 (U5 L11 page 1)
● Texas declared Juneteenth a state holiday in 1980. In 2021, it became a federal holiday. This was an important step because it expanded the importance of the holiday nationwide. It gave Americans an official day to celebrate the end of enslavement. Today the day does not just focus on the end of enslavement. It commemorates an important shared moment of black history.
