History of Juneteenth

https://nmaahc.si.edu/juneteenth-digital-toolkit

Even though the Emancipation Proclamation was made effective in January 1863, it could not be implemented in places still under Confederate control. As a result, in the westernmost Confederate state of Texas, enslaved people would not be free until much later. Freedom finally came on June 19, 1865, when some 2,000 Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas. The army announced that the more than 250,000 enslaved black people in the state, were free by executive decree.

All District 100 classes and offices will be closed on Wednesday, June 19th.
Todas las clases y oficinas del Distrito 100 estarán cerradas el miércoles, 19 de junio.
