In Honor of Juneteenth
In honor of June 19th please watch this powerfully beautiful rendition by Wintley Phipps. June 19th is also known as Juneteenth: Juneteenth is a federal holiday commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. It marks June 19, 1865, when Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, to announce the end of slavery—more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.
