What is Juneteenth? [Corrections: Shay misspoke in this episode-slaves were free in 1865 not 1965] ***Juneteenth, also referred to as Jubilee Day, commemorates the day that slaves in Galveston, Texas were notified of their freedom. News of freedom for the 200,000+ slaves in Texas did not come until about two and a half years AFTER the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. The Emancipation Proclamation stated that all slaves in Confederate states “shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free.” Click the links below for more information: https://www.juneteenth.com
