Juneteenth is a significant date in American history and the African American experience. The name is a play on the date of June 19th, 1865. On that day, the Union Army made its way into Galveston, TX, under the leadership of General Gordon Granger, and he announced to the people of Texas that all enslaved African Americans were free.

Even though we know that the Emancipation Proclamation freed African Americans in rebel states (Texas being one of them, from as early as when the Proclamation went into effect on January 1st, 1863). We know that the Civil War ended in April of 1865. It took a while for freedom to make its way to the westernmost rebelling state. Although enslavers were aware of the implementation of the Emancipation Proclamation, it wasn’t until June 19th, 1865, that it was enforced with the Union Army. June 19th freed enslaved people in the rebelling states. It did not free enslaved people throughout the nation.

Remember, there were still border states that were still part of the Union. They had not seceded from the Union, and they still maintained slavery. Maryland, for example, was one of them. It took the creation of the Emancipation Proclamation, the end of the Civil War, and the passage of the 13th Amendment to finally end slavery throughout the nation. The Reconstruction Amendments are significant as they came into being after the end of the Civil War. They include the 13th Amendment, which ended slavery; the 14th Amendment, which provides citizenship, due process, and equal protection; and the 15th Amendment, which provides the opportunity to vote and hold office.
