HISTORY OF JUNETEENTH:
Although the Emancipation Proclamation was signed January 1, 1863, it would be 2.5 years later that Texas the most remote of the union states would receive the news. It would be on June 19, 1865, that enslaved African Americans in Galveston Houston received news that they were free. Juneteenth became a federal holiday in 2020.
