Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865 when Union General Gordon Granger informed the slaves of Galveston, Texas that they were free. Currently recognized by thirty one states Juneteenth should be a national holiday on a par with July 4.  If this country was “born” July 4, 1776, it surely was “born again” June 19, 1865 when we started the still ongoing process of expunging the  sin of slavery. Let freedom ring!
