Commemorating June 19, 2025, as "Juneteenth National Independence Day" in recognition of June 19, 1865, the date on which news of the end of slavery reached the slaves in the Southwestern States.

Declares June 19, 2025, as Juneteenth National Independence Day and formally recognizes the day’s historical importance in marking the end of slavery in the United States. It recounts that news of emancipation reached parts of the country (notably Texas) on June 19, 1865, and supports continued nationwide celebration and education about the history and legacy of slavery and emancipation.

The resolution is ceremonial and expressive: it affirms the value of observing Juneteenth so people can learn about the past and better understand experiences that shaped the nation, but it does not create new programs, funding, or regulatory requirements.
