Mom Would Have Loved Juneteenth
June 24th, 2024
This past week we celebrated Juneteenth. For those of you that are unaware of what Juneteenth is, it is not the day that the Emancipation Proclamation was issued. That was a Presidential Proclamation and Executive Order that President Lincoln issued on January 1, 1863. In September of 1862 he drafted and issued the preliminary version of that order. The history of Juneteenth dates back to June 19, 1865, when Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas. Texas was the Westernmost of the states that had slavery. They brought news that the Civil War had ended and that all enslaved individuals were now free by executive order of President Abraham Lincoln, known as the Emancipation Proclamation, which had been issued two and a half years earlier.
