In order to celebrate Juneteenth, an event celebrated the true freeing of the slaves. It commemorates the delivery of the message of the end of slavery to a group of slaves in Galveston, Texas, in June 1865, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation went into effect in the United States.
