Juneteenth, which is recognized nationally on June 19, marks the end of the institution of slavery in the United States. On June 19, 1865, federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, to declare that \u201call slaves are free.\u201d This was more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation because slaveholders had withheld that information. The National Museum of African American Culture and History<\/a> calls Juneteenth \u201cour country\u2019s second independence day.\u201d However, the work of ending hatred, discrimination, and racism \u2013 and of honoring the promises of liberty and equal opportunity \u2013 must continue.<\/p>\n
