Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865, when Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas to free the last enslaved people at the end of the Civil War – more than two years after President Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. The holiday is marked with joyful community gatherings and is currently recognized as a state holiday or day of observance in 47 states and the District of Columbia.
PGW is proud to honor Juneteenth and recognize the freedom and equality that all citizens deserve.
