Juneteenth marks the end of slavery in the United States and is considered the longest-running African American holiday. It dates from spring 1865 when Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, at the end of the Civil War and announced that all enslaved people should be freed. In 2021, Juneteenth became an official federal holiday. Buffalo’s Juneteenth Festival, begun in 1976, is considered one of the largest in the country. Photos: Nancy J. Parisi
