Juneteenth

Never the Less 7612 Reading Rd, Suite 1010, Cincinnati, OH, United States

Short for “June nineteenth,” Juneteenth marks the day in 1865 when Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced that all enslaved people in Texas were free. This was more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued by President Lincoln, marking the end of slavery in the United States.
