## Caption

On June 19, 1865, nearly two years after President Abraham Lincoln emancipated enslaved Africans in America, Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas, with news of freedom. Over 250,000 African Americans embraced freedom by executive decree on what became Juneteenth—an amalgamation of the words June and nineteenth—and, as of 2021, an official federal holiday. 

Penn State Outreach invites you to recognize and celebrate #Juneteenth. Please consider increasing your awareness and education about this important historical date.
