About Juneteenth Celebration
Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery across the United States. From its Galveston, Texas origin in 1865, the observance of June 19th also known in African American communities as “Emancipation Day”, “Jubilee Day”, “Freedom Day”, is a pivotal moment in history. Throughout the month of June, UC San Diego will explore what the Juneteenth holiday means for Americans, celebrate Black excellence, and center ways in which all communities can observe, reflect, and educate in commemoration.
