Juneteenth Celebrates Freedom
by Myra Faye Turner
In 1863, the Emancipation Proclamation declared that all enslaved people in Confederate States were legally free. But word traveled
slowly during the Civil War. It wasn't until June 19, 1865 - more than
two months after the war ended - that the good news finally reached Galveston, Texas. From that moment forward, June 19 became a
day to celebrate freedom, first in Texas and then across the country.
