Happy Juneteenth!

[Nav22]

On June 19, 1865, enslaved African Americans in Texas were told they were free. A century and a half later, people across the U.S. continue to celebrate the day, which is now a federal holiday.

Former Cowboy Greg Ellis was instrumental in pushing for Juneteenth awareness.

Long time Fort Worth resident Opal Lee worked on it for decades. Maybe they worked together......

It is important to acknowledge Juneteenth as an American holiday, even if you do not celebrate it.
