Juneteenth commemorates when the enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation issued by President Lincoln finally reached Texas on June 19, 1865, putting an end to slavery there and solidifying the new, indivisible United States of America. The historical significance affects not only African Americans in Texas, but its relevance is celebrated officially in 45 states as a holiday and around the world. Juneteenth is a multi-cultural experience that touches the lives of a diverse audience as it recognizes the contribution of others who helped in the cause of Freedom, Unity and Victory.
