JUNETEENTH
Joyful celebrations are held in the
United States on the
Nineteenth of June. Thousands participate
Every year. Why? In Galveston,
Texas, on June 19, 1865, by
Executive order, ALL still-
Enslaved African-Americans were FREE.
Now, in nearly all states and D.C., festivals
Take place. Juneteenth should be a
Happy occasion for ALL U.S. citizens.
