The celebration of this day has grown into a special day celebrating this freedom as well as a day of learning, sharing, and giving respect to the history, culture, and achievements of African Americans.
B. The third Saturday in June is recognized and designated as Juneteenth Day throughout the state of Louisiana, in honor of the day African Americans celebrate as Emancipation Day.
