Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865, when Union Gen. Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Tx and brought the news that the Civil War had ended and the enslaved were free. The 13th Amendment was ratified a few months later in Dec 1865 formally abolishing slavery in the U.S. https://t.co/NfEz09qCLi — PolitiTweet.org
