We celebrate Juneteenth because it is a day that honors the freedom of all people living in the United States. While the Emancipation Proclamation became effective on January 1, 1863, relaying and enforcing that information across the country was not instantaneous. State by state, Union soldiers spread the word, and it took them nearly two and a half years to reach Texas, the most rural Confederate state. Finally, on June 19, 1865, an order was issued informing the people of Texas that all slaves are free. We recognize June 19th, known as Juneteeth, as a day that honors the freedom of all people (end of slavery) living in the United States. The Emancipation Proclamation and Juneteenth were some of the first steps on the Civil Rights journey in America, but they are far from the last. We are proud to be an organization that works to create a better future for our families and community by helping to build bridges and raise their voices to make change within our nation. |
