Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. Dating back to 1865, it was on June 19th that the Union soldiers, led by Major General Gordon Granger, landed at Galveston, Texas with news that the war had ended and that the enslaved were now free. It was Juneteenth weekend, so we had some guests stop by to talk about it and other things. Grab a drink and take a listen, and don't forget to follow and subscribe!
