  • Summary

  • Juneteenth consisting of the words “June” and “nineteenth,” stands as the oldest celebration of Black emancipation in the United States. To this day, the occasion marks the progress of the United States from legally approving race-based chattel slavery to legally abolishing it after centuries of resistance, the initiation of the nation’s bloodiest war, and a constitutional amendment. It was June 19, 1865, and although the Emancipation Proclamation freed enslaved people more than two years earlier. Juneteenth is a day for Black Americans to celebrate freedom.
