Juneteenth

Juneteenth commemorates enslaved people’s emancipation in the US. The holiday was first celebrated in Texas, where on that date in 1865, in the aftermath of the Civil War, enslaved people were declared free under the terms of the 1862 Emancipation Proclamation.

To honor this important day, Excelsior University will be closed.
