The day would come to be known as Juneteenth\, or “Freedom Day”\, “Emancipation Day” and “Juneteenth Independence Day.” Beginning in Texas and spreading to the rest of the United States\, the holiday celebrates the freedom and perseverance of African Americans and is a day to reflect on Black life and experience and gather with loved ones.
