Juneteenth, sometimes known as Emancipation Day, celebrates the anniversary of when Texas slave holders were forced to free their slaves on June 19, 1865.
TWO YEARS after the Emancipation Proclamation abolished slavery!! 🤦🏾♀️

#OnThisDay in 1863, President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, declaring that all slaves in the South "shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free." #EndSlavery
#OnThisDay in 1860, South Carolina declared itself separate from the United States, becoming the first state to secede, because of the "increasing hostility on the part of the non-slaveholding States to the institution of slavery." #MLK50NCRM
