~ In a proclamation issued today, Governor Gavin Newsom declared June 15, 2024 as "Juneteenth National Freedom Day: A Day of Observance" in the State of California. This official state holiday will honor the centuries of struggles and triumphs that have led to this moment.
The proclamation recognizes the historical significance of Juneteenth, which commemorates the day in 1865 when Union General Gordon Granger announced the end of the Civil War and the abolition of slavery in Galveston, Texas. This news came more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation.
Governor Newsom emphasized that Juneteenth is not just a celebration of independence, but also a reminder that America's fight for freedom and equality continues to this day. He acknowledged the contributions of Black Americans who migrated to California seeking better lives and brought their traditions and celebrations with them.
