Celebrated on June 19th each year

We recognize and June 19th or Freedom Day as the oldest known celebration commemorating the end of slavery in the Untied States. On June 19, 1865 came the announcement of the abolition of slavery in the U.S. state of Texas, and more generally the emancipation of enslaved African Americans throughout the former Confederate States of America. Maj. Gen. Gordon Granger came to Galveston, Texas, to inform a reluctant community that President Abraham Lincoln two years earlier had freed the slaves and to press locals to comply with his directive."​
