Texas slaves first learned of their freedom on June 19, 1865 on Galveston Island. What's now known as Juneteenth was born. I went to the island to get reaction as the longtime observance became a federal holiday. I had nothing set up when the day began. But, fortunately, the Galveston Historical Commission was able to connect me with a women who's long pushed for recognition and had a great-great-grandmother who lived through emancipation herself. We also got video of a new mural dedicate to telling the story of Juneteenth.
