Juneteenth
is the oldest known celebration commemorating the ending of slavery in the
United States. Dating
back to 1865, it was on June 19th that the Union soldiers,
led by Major General Gordon Granger, landed at Galveston, Texas
with news that the war had ended and that the enslaved were now free.
