This is the first federal holiday approved <br />since Martin Luther King Jr. Day in 1983. June 19, <br />2021 marks the 156th anniversary of the last African <br />American slaves being freed in Texas. On June 19, <br />1865, federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas to <br />take control of the state and ensure that all enslaved <br />people be freed. This, however was two and a half <br />years after the Emancipation Proclamation went <br />into effect January, 1863. This day, the oldest <br />known celebration commemorating the end of <br />slavery in the United States, has become a day for <br />African Americans to celebrate not only their <br />freedom, but their history, culture and achievements.
