It's a special holiday that is now recognized as a government day off. It is celebrated on the anniversary of the order by Major General Gordon Granger proclaiming freedom for enslaved people in Texas on June 19, 1865. It's a mark of the end of legalized slavery in the USA, although there is still a lot of work to be done! Find out more on this episode of the program.
