Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery and the start to freedom in the United States. Slaves in Galveston, Texas learned of the Emancipation Proclamation on June 19, 1865. The date, June 19, is where the federal holiday name originates from, merging June and nineteenth into one word. Peachtree recognizes this day as a paid holiday for employees. #june19 #federalholiday #juneteenth #freedom
