Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, commemorates the official
end of slavery in the U.S. in 1865, more than two years after
President Abraham Lincoln issues the Emancipation Proclamation.
Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced the end
of the American Civil War to the last group of enslaved people in
the country. The day itself is June 19, but celebrations kick off
across Georgia this weekend, from big festivals to more intimate
evening conversations.
