What Is Juneteenth, and Is It a Federal Holiday?

Juneteenth National Independence Day, or simply Juneteenth, gets its roots from the American Civil War—and is one of 11 federal holidays observed in the U.S.

President Abraham Lincoln declared that enslaved people in Confederate states were free when he issued the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, according to Britannica. However, African Americans living in Texas didn’t find out until June 19, 1865, when Union soldiers arrived in Galveston and shared the news.

Texas observed the first Juneteenth celebrations in 1866, with the Lone Star State making it a state holiday in 1980. Some other states did the same, Britannica notes, before Juneteenth became a federal holiday in 2021.
