Take a moment to ponder and appreciate freedom...
for everyone

Juneteenth is a federal holiday in the #UnitedStates commemorating the #emancipation of enslaved #AfricanAmericans. Deriving its name from combining June and nineteenth, it is celebrated on the anniversary of the order by Major General #GordonGranger proclaiming #freedom for enslaved people in #Texas on June 19, 1865.
