JUNETEENTH TOUR
Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, marks the end of slavery in the United States. After the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, enslaved Black people in Texas remained in bondage for two more years. It wasn’t until June 19, 1865, when over 2,000 Union troops arrived at Galveston Bay, Texas, that more than 250,000 enslaved Black Americans were finally freed. This historic event is celebrated as Juneteenth, often called the United States’ second independence day.
