Excerpted from the website:
- Nationwide
- Its literal historical roots are in Texas, but Juneteenth is gaining popularity across the country as an occasion to celebrate one of the most important events in American history--the end of slavery in America. Although July 4th. marks the American colonies' 1776 declaration of independence from Britain, the Founding Fathers did not include America's slaves among "all men" who had been "created equal." It took a bloody Civil War and Constitutional amendments to end slavery, and Juneteenth celebrates the Emancipation Proclamation, issued almost a century after the Declaration of Independence.
