Juneteenth, a blend of June and nineteenth, commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. It marks 19 June 1865, when Union Major General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced that enslaved people in the state were free, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation of 1 January 1863. The announcement is known as General Order No. 3. The day is also called Freedom Day, Emancipation Day and Jubilee Day, and it is often described as the oldest known commemoration of the end of slavery in the United States.
Freedpeople in Texas organised the first annual Jubilee Day celebrations in 1866, and the custom spread across the country. Typical observances include family gatherings, church services, cookouts, music, readings of the Emancipation Proclamation and parades. Red foods and drinks, such as red velvet cake and strawberry soda, are traditionally associated with the day, and many cities hold festivals, exhibitions and talks on African American history.
