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.

wolfdog4년 이상''None of us are free until we are all free. And we weren’t free on the Fourth of July in 1776.'' Sorry, but July 4th is a celebration for OUR country, not specific individuals. Not once did I ever think July 4th and ''Juneteenth'' were correlated, since I thought we made it clear that July 4th is the day America gained independence from Great Britain, not slavery. I honestly though just think that Juneteenth is a constant woeful reminder of a time many Americans wish were forgotten about, we don't need to go back there constantly. Thanks, hope everyone reads this comment.
