Congratulations for a wonderful 2023 Juneteenth celebration.
Stanford celebrated the Journey for Freedom that African Americans underwent during the Civil War and the journey that continues today as we work together to build a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive university and nation. Our Juneteenth events showcased the African American experience through food, art, and culture.
Juneteenth celebrates the date when enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, finally learned that they were free. More than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation went into effect, and two months after the end of the U.S. Civil War, Texas slaves discovered they were freed on June 19, 1865.
Since then, Juneteenth has been commemorated in communities across America, becoming a federal holiday in 2021. To learn more about the history of Juneteenth, please click here.
