About Juneteenth
Juneteenth is observed on 19 June each year, commemorating the end of slavery in the United States. The date marks 19 June 1865, when Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, to announce that enslaved people were free — two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation. It became a federal holiday in 2021.
The ✊ Raised fist is a powerful symbol of Juneteenth, representing solidarity, resilience, and the ongoing fight for justice and equality. 🖤 Black heart honours Black heritage and remembrance, while ❤️ Red heart and 💚 Green heart reflect the colours of the Pan-African flag.
Juneteenth celebrations include community gatherings, cookouts, music, art, and educational events across the country. ✨ Sparkles captures the joy and pride of the celebration, as communities come together to honour history, culture, and the enduring spirit of freedom.
