(RNS) — On June 19, 1865, slaves in Galveston, Texas, finally got news of their liberation — two years after President Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation abolishing slavery. Ever since, Texans have celebrated the end of slavery on Juneteenth, a melding of the words “June” and “nineteenth.” Juneteenth was designated as a day of observance in Texas in 1980, followed by Oklahoma, Minnesota and Florida in the 1990s.
