Warning: This episode contains terms and topics that some may find offensive or uncomfortable. Juneteenth commemorates the formal announcement by Union General Gordon Granger and his troops who sailed into Galveston, Texas, on June 19, 1865 to announce the end of slavery in Texas. It precedes July 4 which recognizes freedom in America that was not enjoyed by slaves in Galveston until 2.5 years after the emancipation proclamation was signed. Although Juneteenth marks the day that all slaves were physically free, psychological oppression is not easily overcome. We dive deep into this this topic in this episode.
