Honor Juneteenth Through Music, History And Culture
Information courtesy of | City of Bryan
On June 19, 1865, Union soldiers led by Major General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston to announce the end of the war and the freedom of enslaved people, two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation.
Today, Juneteenth is a federal holiday celebrated with reflection, rejoicing, and learning about Black history and culture.
