Juneteenth Celebrations This Saturday June 18th

June 14, 2022


On June 19, 1865, Union Army General, Gordon Granger, arrived in Galveston, Texas. He informed the enslaved Africans, of the end of the war and of slavery in United States. Juneteenth is officially recognized as a holiday to commemorate the end of slavery in the United States. It is also called Emancipation Day or Juneteenth Independence Day. The name “Juneteenth” references the date of the holiday, combining the words “June” and “nineteenth.”
