Happy Juneteenth! On this day in 1865, Army Maj. Gen. Gordon Granger rode into Galveston, Texas, and announced the end of the Civil War and the end of slavery Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, to enforce emancipation. The Juneteenth holiday is now celebrated on June 19 to commemorate the event. #junetheenthflag #nationalholiday2021 #freedomday #jubileeday (at United States) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQVC2KOJkjG/?utm_medium=tumblr
