Juneteenth, a celebration of freedom, goes all the way back to the 1800's. The Emancipation Proclamation gave slaves freedom in 1863, but in Texas it was another three years before slaves were actually set free. As the slaves began a new way of life, June 19th was the day they chose to celebrate their new found freedom, thus beginning the Juneteeth Holiday.
