#OTD in 1865, General Granger announced General Order #3 proclaiming freedom to those enslaved in Texas. This order informed slaves they were free via Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation made two years prior in 1863. Today, we remember #Juneteenth and celebrate freedom together. https://t.co/AEefDZ74u5 — PolitiTweet.org
