Juneteenth is a federal holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the United States. 

On June 19, 1865, 2,000 Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas to enforce the Emancipation Proclamation and ensure freedom from bondage for all African Americans, representing the true end of slavery. Juneteenth marks America's second independence day. Celebrate with us at PAFA with our distinguished guest on June 20!
