No, Californians did not coin the word Juneteenth. Juneteenth is a combination of "June" and "nineteenth" and refers to June 19, 1865, when Union Army General Gordon Granger announced the end of slavery in Galveston, Texas. The term Juneteenth was coined by African Americans in Texas and has since been widely recognized and celebrated across the United States.

It keeps firmly in mind what did happen to Black, what can happen, and unless strong people stand up for what is right, what can happen again.

We rejoice in what we have. although we know there should be more.

Juneteenth, also known as Juneteenth Independence Day or Freedom Day, is an American holiday that commemorates the June 19, 1865, announcement of the abolition of slavery in the U.S. state of Texas, and more generally the emancipation of enslaved African Americans throughout the former Confederacy of the southern United States.

Juneteenth is a special day in history. President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, but it did not reach the slaves in states that were part of the Confederacy until much later. The Emancipation Proclamation finally reached Texas on June 19, 1865. Because of this, we celebrate Juneteenth. Juneteenth is mostly celebrated in Texas and surrounding states.

Juneteenth stands for freedom. It is a celebration of the end of enslavement in America. Juneteenth is America's 2nd Independence Day celebration.

Americans of African descent were caught in tyranny of enslavement on the country's first Independence Day Celebration, the "4th of July", 1776. George Washington was a slave owner. Thomas Jefferson was a slave owner. Many of the founding fathers of America were slave owners.

I wasn't until 88 years after the country's first freedom day celebration, when Union General Gorden Granger landed in Galveston, Texas, on the "19th of June", 1865, to announce freedom for all slaves through the reading of General Order #3 and the issuing of the Emancipation Proclamation by President Abraham Lincoln. It took over 2 and 1/2 years for the news of freedom to travel to the last geographical vestige of enslavement in the country, southwest Texas.

Juneteenth is now recognized as a state holiday or state holiday observance in 36 states, the District of Columbia and the US Congress.

Together we will see Juneteenth Independence Day become a National Day of Observance, like Flag Day and Patriot Day in America.

Juneteenth commemorates the day Union (Northern) General Gordon Granger and 2,000 federal troops arrived on Galveston Island, Texas, to take possession of the state and enforce the emancipation of its slaves. Because this happened on June 19, 1865, the date was shortened to the word "Juneteenth". This is what General Granger read: "The people of Texas are informed that, in accordance with a proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free. This involves an absolute equality of personal rights and rights of property between former masters and slaves, and the connection heretofore existing between them becomes that between employer and hired labor. The freedmen are advised to remain quietly at their present homes and work for wages. They are informed that they will not be allowed to collect at military posts and that they will not be supported in idleness either there or elsewhere." As you can imagine, the slaves of Texas were dancing in the streets over this news. By the next year, cities and towns held organized celebrations on June 19th, and in many of those towns, the tradition has continued. In Houston, TX, and Austin, TX, there are parks for the purpose of Juneteenth celebrations. Parades are held, and families have picnics to remember the day their ancestors were really free. If you live in Texas, you should try to find a friend who will invite you to a Juneteenth festival!

Junetheenth is when all the slaves in Texas learned that they were free. For two years the slave in the east had been freed but the slave owners in Texas still had the slaves working for them.

Juneteenth (the designation for June nineteenth) marks the end of slavery in the United States. On that date in 1865, about two months after General Lee's surrender ended the War Between the States, federal (Union) troops landed at Galveston, Texas to enforce the Emancipation Proclamation issued by the late President Lincoln almost two and a half years prior. This plan was devised to overcome the expected anti-emancipation sentiment, but why it was delayed so long is still a matter of debate.

Juneteenth is celebrated on June 19th each year to commemorate the day in 1865 when Union soldiers arrived in Texas with news that the Civil War had ended and that enslaved African Americans were now free.

The answer would be different in most cases, since the Union military governors declared that the slaves were free as soon as they took control of the territory. However, many people celebrate the day that the military governor of Galveston, TX announced that the slaves had been freed on June 19th, sometimes abbreviated as "Juneteenth".

On June 19, 1865, Union General Granger delivered General Order Number 3 (The Emancipation Proclamation) on the corner of 22nd & Strand in Galveston, Texas. This was 2 months after the fact but the date slaves here first received the news. Locals have been celebrating since then and the movement has grown.

In 1980 Texas was the first and only state to make Juneteeth a state holiday.

In the United States, slaves were officially set free on June 19, 1865, a day known as Juneteenth, when General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, to enforce the Emancipation Proclamation.
