Why Juneteenth 2024 Is The Best Time To Support Black-Owned Business
Juneteenth, an annual commemoration of the end of slavery in the United States after the Civil War, has been celebrated by African Americans since the late 1800s. The Emancipation Proclamation, issued by President Abraham Lincoln on Jan. 1, 1863, declared freedom for enslaved people in Confederate states. But sadly, not everyone received the message. The historic day, also known as Emancipation Day, is celebrated annually on Jun. 19 to commemorate the emancipation of enslaved African Americans in the United States. The hard fact is that Juneteenth is an often overlooked event in our nation’s history. On Jun. 19, 1865, Union troops freed enslaved African Americans in Galveston Bay and across Texas some two and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation.
