Celebrate Juneteenth in Coastal Mississippi

Juneteenth (Monday, June 19) is a time of reflection, education, and jubilation as we gather to pay homage to the struggles and triumphs of the African-American community. On June 19, 1865, federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, where U.S. General Gordon Granger read General Orders No. 3, informing the citizens of Texas that all enslaved people were free.
