Juneteenth Celebration

This celebration offers fun for the entire family in celebration of the Emancipation Proclamation, and recognizes the struggle by African Americans for freedom. Juneteenth, or June 19th, 1865, is considered the date when the last slaves in America were freed. Although the rumors of freedom were widespread before this, actual emancipation did not come until General Gordon Granger rode into Galveston, Texas and issued General Order No. 3, on June 19th, almost two and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation.
