Saturday’s Juneteenth celebration at Breezy Hill Park in Terrell comes just days after Congress passed legislation that would make the day that commemorates the emancipation of slaves in Texas a federal holiday.

Juneteenth commemorates the day in 1865 when enslaved people in Texas first learned they had been emancipated. The initial announcement to that effect was made by Union Army Gen. Gordon Granger in Galveston on June 19, 1865.
