Juneteenth
Hi COCOBelles,
We want to keep the tradition alive and honor the end of slavery and the Civil War. Today marks 155 years that slavery ended for the last remaining 250,000 slaves in Texas. On June 19, 1865, Union Major General Gordon Granger declared all slaves to be free, despite President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation two and a half years earlier, some slaves were never told.
In 1980, Texas was the first state to celebrate Juneteenth statewide. Meanwhile, 40 years later, a federal holiday has yet to be named, but 47 states and several businesses and companies acknowledge June 19th as a paid day off and a day of celebration for the freedom of Black people.
In 1997, Ben Hale the founder of the National Juneteenth Celebration Foundation created the Juneteenth flag. The Red, white, and blue are symbolic of the American flag and American freedom and Black history.
How are you and your family planning to celebrate Juneteenth? Here are some ways. Get to know our true history and continue to celebrate the new changes for equality and freedom. Happy Juneteenth!
