It's Friday, June 19, 2015 and today is Juneteenth Day.
Juneteenth is a clever hybrid between the words “June” and “19th.” It commemorates this date in 1865 when Union Soldiers finally came to Galveston with the belated news that the Civil War was over and slaves were now free. This is now an official state holiday in Texas.
