Happy Juneteenth! 🌟 Originating in Texas, Juneteenth commemorates the ending of slavery in the United States. On June 19, 1865, Major General Gordon Granger of the Union Army ordered the final enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation in Galveston, Texas at the end of the Civil War. In the following years, celebrations became popular among formerly enslaved African Americans in the South; these celebrations eventually evolved into what is now Juneteenth. In 2021, President Biden signed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act into law, solidifying the commemorative day into a federal holiday.
📣Delaware Humanities is closed today in observance of the holiday.
