Juneteenth is a day of profound historical significance, marking the emancipation of the last remaining enslaved African Americans in the United States. At Revolution of a Monarch Clothing, we are proud to celebrate Juneteenth, a day that represents freedom, resilience, and the enduring spirit of African American culture.
The History of Juneteenth
Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day or Emancipation Day, commemorates June 19, 1865, when Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced the end of the Civil War, effectively freeing the last enslaved people in the state. This was more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation.
