## Caption

On June 19, 1865, enslaved African Americans in Texas were told they were free. More than a century and a half later, people across the U.S. continue to celebrate the day, which is now a federal holiday. The holiday is also called “Juneteenth Independence Day,” “Freedom Day” or “Emancipation Day.” #emancipationproclamation #juneteenth #freedomday #blackhistory
