Juneteenth marks the real end of slavery in the United States. On June 19, 1865, Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, where people were still enslaved – more than two full years after the Emancipation Proclamation set them free. The newly freed slaves marked the occasion with feasting and celebration. We look at historic Black celebration of their culture in hostile Confederate spaces and at contemporary Juneteenth, with photographer Kathleen Hinkel's photographs of last year's Juneteenth in George Floyd Square in Minneapolis.
