Juneteenth commemorates the enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation in the westernmost Confederate state of Texas by Union troops who arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas, on June 19, 1865, two and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln issued the Proclamation. Juneteenth represents our country's second Independence Day.
