Honoring Juneteenth

Juneteenth is on June 19^th and commemorates the end of slavery in the U.S. President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863. However, it was not until June 19, 1865, 2 ½ years later, that Union forces landed in Galveston, Texas to inform the townspeople that the war was over, and all former slaves were now free. Texas, the last state to be informed of the emancipation of enslaved people, was the first to recognize Juneteenth. Originating in Galveston, the holiday has been celebrated annually on June 19^th in various parts of the country since 1865. On June 17, 2021, President Biden signed The Juneteenth National Independence Day Act into law, making Juneteenth the newest federal holiday. Klingenstein Fields Advisors is proud to honor this important day in our history.
