The Story of Juneteenth (Re-release)

Juneteenth is a special day that celebrates the end of slavery in the United States. It all started on June 19, 1865, when Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, to announce that the Civil War had ended and enslaved people were now free. This important event happened more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. People across the country remember and honor this day with joyful celebrations, including parades, music, and delicious food. Juneteenth is a time to learn about history, share stories, and reflect on the importance of freedom and equality. This day helps us remember the struggles and achievements of those who fought for freedom and continue to inspire us today.👉 Try your risk-free trial of Greenlight today: ⁠⁠⁠www.greenlight.com/bedtimehistory⁠⁠👉 Upgrade your bedding with Quince for free shipping and 365-day returns: ⁠⁠⁠www.quince.com/bedtimehistory 📖 Celebrate the 250th Anniversary of 1776 and checkout our newest audiobooks on Spotify (Part 1 and Part 2) 🎉 Check out our new show, Bedtime Safari! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📢 ⁠⁠Donate via Patreon for a shout-out! 📺⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 500+ YouTube Videos
