A time to reflect & rejoice Juneteenth African American independence day shirt adds a little clarification to Rhonda’s answer. The slaves weren’t freed in Texas for 2 and a half years because the slave owners kept it secret. The slaves didn’t find out until the Union troops arrived and told them. The slaves in Texas were the last in the Union to be freed. This depends on where you live. Most places I know of have festivals and family events. In my hometown, there is an annual Juneteenth Jazz Festival, which is organized by Juneteenth America. For holidays like these, I try to set aside time to read about the history of that time period. If there are tv shows, documentaries or movies on the subject, I make at the point to watch them. I don’t take it upon myself to insert myself into Passover or Mexican Independence Day, then why do you find the need to insert yourself into Juneteenth?
