“Commemorating The Legacy and Spirit of America”
COMMITTEE:
“Juneteenth” or the 19th of June is the date slavery ended in America. General Gordon
Granger traveled to Galveston, Texas to read General Order No. 3, June 19, 1865. This was
two and one-half years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation
Proclamation. Juneteenth is now recognized as a Local, State, and National Observance
Holiday.
