Juneteenth is celebrated each June 19 to commemorate the arrival of Union soldiers in Galveston, Texas, in 1865 – more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed – to announce that enslaved people in Texas were free. The university began observing Juneteenth as a paid holiday in 2023.
