Juneteenth, también conocido como Día de la Liberación o Día de la Emancipación, es una festividad de los Estados Unidos que conmemora la emancipación de los afroamericanos esclavizados y la cultura afroestadounidense. Se celebró por primera vez el 19 de junio de 1866, con motivo del primer aniversario de la emancipación de los esclavos en Texas, y en 2021 fue reconocida como festivo federal. Su nombre es un acrónimo de las palabras en inglés June (junio) y nineteenth (decimonoveno), la fecha de la celebración.
