June 19, 1865 - the day that the enslaved in Texas finally got the news of the Emancipation Proclamation outlawing slavery in the United States ...two and a half years after the proclamation went into effect! The commemoration of that day is called Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, Jubilee Day, Liberation Day and Emancipation Day. We learn the history of Juneteenth and it's significance today in light of the racial reckoning in our country. Dr. Cassandra Newby-Alexander and Ms. Sheri Bailey are our guests.
