"The people of Texas are informed that in accordance with a Proclamation from the Executive of the United States, 'all slaves are free.' This involves an absolute equality of rights and rights of property between former masters and slaves, and the connection heretofore existing between them becomes that between employer and free laborer."
— General Orders No. 3, June 19, 1865
On June 19, 1865, General Orders No. 3, was issued in Galveston, announcing to the people of Texas that, in accordance with the Emancipation Proclamation, “all slaves are free.” This day—which has since become known as Juneteenth—is now celebrated nationwide as the day that marked freedom for all Black Americans.
Juneteenth presents engaging text accompanied by dynamic works of art, photographs, and historical documents to chronicle this pivotal period in U.S. history.
