Juneteenth: The Destruction of Slavery in the Civil War

Juneteenth: The Destruction of Slavery in the Civil War In-Person / Online


Over the course of four years, enslaved people worked to turn the Civil War into a freedom war. On June 19, 1865, the federal government finally met that objective, declaring slavery dead across the country. This momentous event marked a new birth of freedom—an occasion we now commemorate as Juneteenth.
