Interestingly, this holiday began in 1865--more than two years after President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation. News spread much slower back then, and when slaves in Texas finally learned of their freedom, the holiday was born. In this book, readers are given an in-depth look at the history of Juneteenth, including the events leading up to its creation. Readers will love learning about how this important moment in U.S. history is celebrated each year."--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Waimanalo P/S Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 394.263 Re Juneteenth Checked In Add Copy to MyList
