@cynthia.historynerd: Did you know over 250,000 people were still enslaved in Texas after the Emancipation Proclamation? Juneteenth marks the day freedom finally reached them. Here's what really happened on June 19, 1865—when news traveled way too slow. #JuneteenthExplained #EmancipationProclamation #Juneteenth #BlackFreedomDay #GeneralOrder3 #June19Facts
