From Freedom Eve to Freedom Day

The Emancipation Proclamation was issued 1/1/1863 to release enslaved people in the Confederate states. Black churches held Watch Night on New Year’s Eve 1862, also known as Freedom Eve.

But in some parts of the country, racist landowners continued stealing the labor of Black workers for 18 more months. On 6/19/1865 in Galveston, Texas, General Gordon Granger read out the Federal Order.

This became known and celebrated as Juneteenth. Enjoy the holiday but keep up the fight for !
