June 19 is #Juneteenth. On this day in 1865, U.S. Maj. Gen. Gordon Granger issued General Order No. 3, which informed the people of Texas that slavery had ended in the United States and that all enslaved people were free – two and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. Join HII as we reflect on the significance of the holiday and celebrate freedom for all.
