Juneteenth — a combination of the words June and nineteenth — is one of the oldest known holidays commemorating the end of slavery in the United States. It was on June 19, 1865, that the nation's last enslaved people — a group in Texas — learned that slavery had been outlawed and that they were free. The events leading to what many call "America's true Independence Day" began with the Emancipation Proclamation, signed by President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863.

sophiagrace124년 이상I think it is amazing that they are fighting to make Juneteenth a holiday! I definitely think it should be, since it celebrates freedom. Our country is all about freedom for all, so we should stay true to that and make Juneteenth a National Holiday! Like if you agree!

science_lover4년 이상I think Juneteenth is an amazing holiday, but did you guys know that the House of Representatives did make it a national holiday. How cool! Also, did you guys know that Abraham Lincoln didn’t do much for the slaves. I was shocked. Anyways, love Juneteenth! ❤️- boredravenclaw4년 이상Well, he freed them. As far as I know..... where did you get your sources?
