On June 19, 1865, the last enslaved African Americans living in Galveston, Texas were told the Civil War had ended; the Emancipation Proclamation had been signed in 1863 by President Abraham Lincoln; and all African Americans were now free from the bo***ge of slavery. This date came to be known as Juneteenth. It is a time to reflect on history, celebrate freedom, and appreciate African American culture.
