My Story…

Emancipation Proclamation was made effective on "Freedom's Eve January 1, 1863", but Texas still had Confederate control until 2000 Union Troops arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas on June 19, 1865 and announced the freedom of all the slaves in Texas. This is a Celebration of Freedom from enslavement.
