Experience the evolution of Juneteenth, from the first celebration in 1865 until it became a national holiday in 2021. More than two years after President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation, enslaved Texans finally learned they were free on June 19, 1865. That day became a day of remembrance and celebration that changed and grew from year to year. The Juneteenth Story highlights the origins and evolution of this important, long-overlooked American celebration and connects dots between the Civil War, civil rights, and today by looking at how Juneteenth’s powerful and enduring spirit has evolved across the decades.
