Juneteenth, officially Juneteenth National Independence Day, is a federal holiday in the United States. It is celebrated annually on June 19 to commemorate the end of slavery in the United States. The holiday's name, first used in the 1890s, is a portmanteau of June and nineteenth, referring to June 19, 1865, the day when Major General Gordon Granger ordered the final enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation in Texas at the end of the American Civil War. The holiday is considered the "longest-running African-American holiday" and has been called "America's second Independence Day." The historical legacy of Juneteenth shows the value of never giving up hope in uncertain times.

The Fox River Valley Chapter ladies joined fellow NSDAR members in celebrating the inspirational America 250! Flag Day ceremony at the Liberty Education Plaza today. This ceremony marked a notable occasion for the Illinois Daughters of the American Revolution. Well done to all who worked on the ceremony and plaza.
