The "Juneteenth" holiday commemorates the end of slavery where?

• "The Lone Star State":Juneteenth is celebrated annually on the 19th of June to commemorate the day in 1865 when news of the Emancipation Proclamation finally reached Texas. On this day in 1865, enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, learned they had been freed from bondage as Union Army General Gordon Granger announced that President Abraham Lincoln had freed them two and a half years earlier in his Emancipation Proclamation. But since the Lone Star State never fell to Union troops in battle, they remained in bondage. The day was recognized as a federal holiday on Thursday when President Biden signed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act into law.
