Juneteenth Background:
Juneteenth, or "America's Second Independence Day," has been a federally recognized holiday since 2021. It commemorates the day when Maj. Gen. Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas, in 1865, two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation, to proclaim that over 250,000 enslaved Black people in the state were free.
