Juneteenth–June 19th–is now a recognized federal holiday. Also known as Freedom Day, Emancipation Day, or Jubilee Day, Juneteenth commemorates June 19th, 1865, the day that the last remaining enslaved people in the U.S. received word that the Civil War had ended and they had been liberated by the federal orders in President Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation back in 1863.
