Juneteenth (offiziell Juneteenth National Independence Day; auch Black Independence Day, Jubilee Day, Emancipation Day) ist ein Gedenk- und Feiertag zur Erinnerung an die Befreiung der afroamerikanischen Bevölkerung der Vereinigten Staaten aus der Sklaverei, der jährlich am 19. Juni begangen wird. Er ist der älteste Gedenktag zur Erinnerung an die Sklavenbefreiung in den USA und seit dem 17. Juni 2021 ein offizieller bundesweiter Feiertag. Das amerikanische Wort ist ein Kofferwort aus den englischen Wörtern June (Juni) und nineteenth (neunzehnter) – also für das Datum June 19th.
