Good Day Allen Temple Family and Friends,

 

Happy Juneteenth!

 

I pray this day also known as Freedom Day, finds you and your family safe and well.

 

On June 19, 1865, two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed, word finally reached the enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas that they were free. Juneteenth marks the end of chattel slavery in the United States and stands as a powerful reminder of the long, painful journey toward justice and liberation.
