The History of Juneteenth

An introduction to the history of Juneteenth for kids ages 6 to 9.
On June 19, 1865, a Union soldier traveled to Texas to tell the enslaved people who lived there that they were free and that slavery was now illegal in every state. The people danced and sang in celebration of their freedom. Today, we pay tribute to this historical day with a special holiday on June 19 called Juneteenth.
