The Historical Legacy of Juneteenth Juneteenth is an often overlooked event in our nation’s history. On June 19, 1865, Union troops freed enslaved African Americans in Galveston Bay and across Texas some two and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation.

Today, we observe Juneteenth and recognize its lasting significance as a time to celebrate freedom and reflect on history.

Congratulations to all the SoC students who made the Presidential Scholars list and the Dean's list! Keep up the good work! 🐻
