Juneteenth is a holiday established to commemorate the end of slavery in the United States, officially recognized as a national holiday in 2021, making it the first new national holiday in the US since Martin Luther King Jr. Day was established in 1983. On June 19, 1865, Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and issued General Order No. 3, declaring that all enslaved people were to be set free. This day became known as Juneteenth, also referred to as Freedom Day or Emancipation Day, and is known as the earliest celebration commemorating the end of slavery in the United States.
