What Is Juneteenth?
Juneteenth commemorates an effective end of
slavery in the United States.
Juneteenth marks the day when federal troops arrived
in Galveston, Texas in 1865 to take control of the
state and ensure that all enslaved people be freed.
The Emancipation Proclamation had been signed two
and a half years earlier. The Juneteenth holiday
honors the effective end of slavery in the United
States.
In Texas, slavery had continued as the state
experienced no large-scale fighting or significant
presence of Union troops. Many enslavers from
outside the Lone Star State had moved there, as they
viewed it as a haven for slavery.
After the war ended in the spring of 1865, General
Granger’s arrival in Galveston that June signaled
freedom for Texas’s 250,000 enslaved people.
Although emancipation didn’t happen overnight for
everyone—in some cases, enslavers withheld the
information until after harvest season—celebrations
broke out among newly freed Black people, and
Juneteenth was born. That December, slavery in
America was formally abolished with the adoption of
the 13th Amendment. The year following 1865,
freedmen in Texas organized the first of what became
the annual celebration of "Jubilee Day" on June 19. In
the ensuing decades, Juneteenth commemorations
featured music, barbecues, prayer services and other
activities, and as Black people migrated from Texas
to other parts of the country the Juneteenth tradition
spread.
In 1979, Texas became the first state to make
Juneteenth an official holiday; several others followed
suit over the years. In June 2021, Congress passed a
resolution establishing Juneteenth as a federal
holiday, signed on 17 June 21 by President Biden.

John 15:1313 Greater love has no one than this: to
lay down one’s life for one’s friends.
Today's Verse In-Context
11 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you
and that your joy may be complete.
12 My command is this: Love each other as I have
loved you.
13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down
one’s life for one’s friends.
14 You are my friends if you do what I command.
15 I no longer call you servants, because a servant
does not know his master’s business. Instead, I
have called you friends, for everything that I learned
from my Father I have made known to you.
